Question

A line with a slope of –4 passes through the point

(3, –8). What is its equation in slope-intercept
form?

Answer 1

Given point ( 3 ,-8) and slope ( m) = -4

Explanation:

The equation of line is given by

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

y + 8 = -4 ( x -3)

y + 8 = -4x + 12

4x + y -12 +8 = 0

4x + y -4 = 0

which is the required equation.
