Question

Write a point slope form equation and slope intercept equation. Passes through (-1,-6), slope= -4

Answer 1

The point-slope form would be y + 6 = -4(x + 1) and the slope-intercept form would be y = -4x - 10

Explanation:

In order to find the point-slope form, you simply need to put the point and the slope into the base form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -6 = -4(x - -1)

y + 6 = -4(x + 1)

Now to find the slope-intercept, simply solve for y.

y + 6 = -4(x + 1)

y + 6 = -4x - 4

y = -4x - 10
