Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope-1/4
and y-intercept -3.

Answer 1

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x - 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given slope m = -
`(1)/(4)` and y- intercept c = - 3 , then

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x - 3 ← equation of line

Answer 2

`\sf y = -(1)/(4)x - 3`

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is given by:

`\sf y = mx + b`

where
`\sf m` is the slope and
`\sf b` is the y-intercept.

For the given line with a slope of
`\sf -(1)/(4)` and a y-intercept of
`\sf -3`, the equation in slope intercept form is:

`\sf y = -(1)/(4)x - 3`
