E Math · Secondary 3 · Hard · Equation of a straight line

A line passes through the point

(2, 5)

and has gradient

-\tfrac{3}{4}

. What is the equation of the line in the form

y = mx + c

?

$y = -\tfrac{3}{4}x + \tfrac{13}{2}$
$y = -\tfrac{3}{4}x - \tfrac{13}{2}$
$y = \tfrac{3}{4}x + \tfrac{13}{2}$
$y = -\tfrac{4}{3}x + \tfrac{13}{2}$
