Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8,-3) with : slope of -1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

In slope-intercept form:

$y = - \frac{1}{4} x - 5$

In standard form:

$x + 4y = - 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 3 = - \frac{1}{4} ( - 8) + b$

$- 3 = 2 + b$

$b = - 5$

$y = - \frac{1}{4} x - 5$

$- 4y = x + 20$

$- x - 4y = 20$

$x + 4y = - 20$
