Question

A line passes through the point (0, 2) and has a slope of -1/4 What is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

The required equation is x + 4y = 8 !!

Explanation:

Given :- the line passes through the point ( 0 , 2 ) and the slope of the line is ( -1/4 )

• Also, to form an equation when a point through which line passes and slope of line is given we use the formula ;

( y - y1 ) = m ( x - x1 )

Where , y and x are variables

and ( x1 , y1 ) are the points through which line passes

also, m = slope of the required line

Here , x1 = 0 , y1 = 2 and m = ( -1/4 )
