Question

write the equation of the line, with the given properties, in slope-intercept form. slope = -5, through (-4,4)

Answer 1

Answer: y=-5x-16

Explanation:

Since we are given the slope and the point, we can plug in the point to solve for y-intercept.

4=-5(-4)+b [multiply]

4=20+b [subtract both sides by 20]

b=-16

Now, we know the equation is y=-5x-16.
