Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line with the slope of -1/4 and y intercept -5. Then graph.

Question

Help me please

Answer 1

The y-intercept is B = -5, so the line crosses the y-axis at (0,-5)

The slope M = -1/4

 

the equation is y = Mx + b = (-1/4)X + -5 = (-1/4)X-5

 

On your graph paper...

plot the point (0,-5)

 

Then go down one square and four to the right.

That point is (4,-6)
