Question

Which one of the choices gives The equation of the line which has slope -4 and Y- intercept 3?

Answer 1

The form of the linear equation is

`y=mx+b`

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Since the slope of the line is -4, then

m = -4

Since the y-intercept is 3, then

b = 3

Substitute them in the form of the equation above, then

`y=-4x+3`

The equation of the line is y = -4x + 3

The answer is choice A (1st one)
