Question

Beginning with the point-slope form of the equation of a line, write the equation of a line with slope,-2that passes through the point (-4,-1) . Express the final answer in slope-intercept form

Answer 1

y = -2x + b

-1 =-2(-4) + b

b = -1 -8 =-9

y=-2x-9 is the line with slope -2 that goes through (-4,-1)
