What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4,4)and has a slope of −3?

Answer 1

4= -3(-4) = b

b=4-12 = -8

y=mx +b

y=-3x -8 is the equation of the line with slope -3 through the point (-4,4)

slope = m = the coefficient of the x term, when the equation is solved for y

b is the y intercept, solved by plugging in the point x=-4, y=4
