Question

Use the point-slope formula to write an equation of the line that passes through (1,0) and has a slope of m=-4. Write the answer in slope- intercept form ( if possible)

Answer 1

y = -4x-4

Explanation:

We need to find an equation of the line that passes through (1,0) and has a slope of m=-4.

The equation of a line is given by :

y = mx+c

Where

m is slope of line

Put all the values,

y = -4x+c

Put x = 1 and y = 0

So,

0 = -4(1)+c

c = -4

So, the required equation is :

y = -4x-4
