Question

Which is the

slope-intercept form of the equation of the line with a slope
of -4 that passes through the point (-3, 1)?
Oy=-4x-11
Oy - 1 = -4(x + 3)
Oy+1 = 4(x-3)
y = 4x + 11

Answer 1

y = -4x - 11

Explanation:

This equation is in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

Slope-intercept form is a fill-in-the-blank shortcut to write an equation of a line. The m is the slope right beside the x (b is the y-intercept, but we don't even need that for this question) Only the first and last answers are in the correct format and only the first one has the right slope. You can also check it by putting (-3,1) into the equation. It checks! Graphing is a good check also.
