Problem

A straight line has slope 32\dfrac{3}{2} and passes through the point (−4,5)(-4, 5). (i) Obtain the equation of the line in a form that involves the given point explicitly. (ii) Transform the equation found in part (i) so that yy is expressed as a function of xx. (iii) Determine the coordinates of the point where this line intersects the yy–axis.
