Question

Graph the line that contains the point (-2,-4) and has a slope of
1/4

Answer 1

y = 1/4x - 7/2

Explanation:

To answer this question, we have to use point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the numbers into the variables:

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

y + 4 = 1/4(x + 2)

y + 4 = 1/4x + 1/2

y = 1/4x - 7/2

To verify your answer, simply substitute the values into your equation:

-4 = 1/4(-2) - 7/2

-4 = -1/2 - 7/2

-4 = -8/2

-4 = -4
