Question

Write an equation of a line that passes through the given point and has the given slopethe correct blanks for the value of mand b.2.(-1, 4), slope - 1

Answer 1

The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

We would find c by substituting x = - 1, y = 4 and m = - 1 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

4 = - 1 * - 1 + c

4 = 2 + c

c = 4 - 2 = 2

The equation would be

y = - x + 2
