The equation of the line with slope − 4 that goes through the point ( − 9 , − 4 ) can be written in the form y = m x + b

Question

The equation of the line with slope  that goes through the point  can be written in the form 

Answer 1

m=-4

y = -4x + b

-4 = -4(-9) + b

b = -4 -36 = -40

y =-4x -40 is the equation with slope =-4 through (-9,-4)

-4 =-4(-9) -40

-4 =36-40 =-4
