Question

PLEASE HELP. Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point

and has the given slope.
(4,-7); m = -1/4
a. y +7 = -1/4(x - 4)
b. y + 4 = -1/4(x-7)
c. y - 4 = -1/4(x + 7)
d. y - 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

Answer 1

A)
`y+7=-(1)/(4)(x-4)`

Explanation:

The point-slope from equation is:

`(y-y_(1))=m(x-x_(1))\\`

Where the coordinate given is:

`(x_(1),y_(1))`

m =
`-(1)/(4)`
