Answer:

The equation of the line with the given slope and y intercept at (0,-1)

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we can use the formula:.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We have:

Plugging the values:

y - ( - 1) = (1)/(4) (x - 0)

Now simplifying this more.

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

We can move 1 to the other side of the equation.

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

Answer:

$y = (1)/(4) x - 1 \\$

Explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

From the question we have

$y + 1 = (1)/(4) (x - 0) \\ y + 1 = (1)/(4) x$

We have the final answer as

$y = (1)/(4) x - 1 \\$

Hope this helps you
