Problem

A straight line passes through the point A(3,\,-2) and has slope 45\dfrac{4}{5}. (i) Draw a neat rough sketch of the line on the Cartesian plane, clearly marking the point A and both intercepts on the axes. (ii) Calculate the y-intercept of this line. (iii) Write the equation of the line in slope–intercept form. (iv) Determine the coordinates of the point on the line where y=6y=6 and indicate this point on your sketch.
