Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-1, 3) and has a slope of -4​

Answer 1

y = -4x - 1

Explanation:

We are given the slope so we can find the y intercept using slope intercept [ y = mx + b ]

y = -4x + b

3 = -4(-1) + b

3 = 4 + b

-1 = b

Now, put everything we know and solved for back into the formula.

y = -4x - 1

Best of Luck!
