Answer:y=-1/7x+26/7
Step-by-step explanation: y=mx+b substitute m=-1/7
y=-1/7x+b
The line passes through the point (-2,4)
This means x=-2 and y=4 must be substituted in the above equation
4=-1/7*-2+b
4=2/7+b
Solve for b
To get b on its own we need take 2/7 from both sides
4-2/7=2/7-2/7+b
26/7=b
Need to solve 4/1-2/7
Must make denominators the same
Multiply top and bottom by 7
4*7/1*7-2/7
28/7-2/7=26/7
