Question

Slope -1/4, passes through (12,-4)​

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

Assuming you require the equation of the line

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

Here m = -
`(1)/(4)` , then

y = -
`(1)/(4)` x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (12, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 3 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 3 = - 1

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