Question

A line has a slope of -4. The line passes through the point (-2,1). What is the point- slope form of the line?

A. y - 1 = -4 (x + 2)
B. y - 4 = -2 (x - 1)
C. y - 1 = 4 (x - 2)
D. y - 2 = -4 (x - 1)​

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

point-slope form:
`y - y_(1) = m(x -x_(1) )`

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

y - 1 = -4(x + 2)
