Question

A line that includes the point (–1,4) has a slope of 1/4. What is its equation in SLOPE-INTERCEPT form?

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=0.25x+4.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the two forms

Point Slope Form → $(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

Slope Intercept Form → $y=mx+b$

Step 2:  Plug into point slope form

$(y-4)=0.25(x-(-1))$

$y-4=0.25(x+1)$

Step 3:  Convert to slope intercept form

$y-4+4=0.25x + 0.25+4$

$y=0.25x+4.25$

Answer:  $y=0.25x+4.25$
