Question

Write an equation of a line in slope-intercept form with the given slope and y-intercept.

slope: −4-4, y-intercept: −9

Answer 1

y=-4x -9 is the equation of a line with slope =-4 and intercept =-9

general form of the equation is

y=mx +b where m= slope and b=intercept. if m=-4 and b=-9

then plug that in to get

y=-4x +(-9)

y =-4x -9
