Finding the Equation of a line through (2, 4) with m = 3/4

[Sam-I-Am]

Ok the instructions say:"Write an equation for each line with the given points and slope. Express the equation in slope-intercept form."
1. (2,4) m=3/4 (here is the work I have done so far!!)
y - 4=3/4(x-2)
And here is were I get stuck every time!!!!!! please help???

Good start! You’ve written your equation in Point-Slope form. Now all you need is some simple algebra steps to rearrange it.

First, distribute (multiply out) on the right hand side:

3/4(x-2) = (3/4)(x) – 3/2

Next, add 4 to both sides of your equation to get y by itself.

Finally, combine the –3/2 and 4. That’s it! You’re done!
