Find an equation of the line with the given slope that passes through the given point. Write the the equation in Ax+by=c form

Question

m = -1/4, (-6,0)

Answer 1

Start with

 

y = mx + b

 

m = -1/4

 

y = -x/4 + b

 

0 = -6/-4 + b

 

b = -3/2

 

y = -x/4 - 3/2

 

4y = -x - 6

 

x + 4y = -6

 

Test the answer.
