Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that goes through (5,-10) with slope-4.

Answer 1

y=-4x+6

Explanation:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

So, graph the point (5,-10)

Next, use the slope to find the next points.

So, I went up 4 and left 1..

now draw a line connecting your two points.

look to see where the line is on the y axis.

So, y=mx+b.... y=-4(the slope) then y=-4x+6(the point where the line touches the y axis) Answer: y=-4x+6
