Question

Write an equation in point slope form of the line through point J(4,1) with slope -4

Answer 1

• y - 1 = - 4(x - 4)

Explanation:

Point- slope form:

• y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m- the slope, (x₁, y₁) - the point on the line

Given:

• m = - 4,
• Point J(4, 1)

Substitute into equation to get the line:

• y - 1 = - 4(x - 4)
