Question

Graph the line that passes through the point (-1, "-4)" whose slope is "-2"

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hi , Butteryfly :P

given m= -2

Point P1( -1, -4) in the form (x1,y1)

use the point-slope formula, below, and plug in our knows.

y - y1 = m(x -x1)

y-(-4) = -2(x-(-1)

note the careful detail of the negatives

y+4 = -2(x+1)

y+4 = -2x -2

y = -2x -2 -4

y = -2x -6

now use Desmos or your favorite free on-line graphing tool. i'm litterally copy and pasting our line equation into Desmos for the graph attached.
