Question

A line has a slope of -1/4 and passes through point (-5/4,1) what is the equation of the line?

A. Y= -1/4x+ 21/16
B. Y= -1/4x+11/16
C. Y=-1/4x-1/4
D. Y= -1/4x-5/4

Answer 1

Bbb

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. y = -1/4x + 11/16

Explanation:

In order to find this, we must plug in the slope and the point into point-slope form. We can then solve for slope intercept form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = -1/4(x - -5/4)

y - 1 = -1/4(x + 5/4)

y - 1 = -1/4x - 5/16

y = -1/4x + 11/16
