The required point-slope form of the equation of the line is y - 5 = -4(x + 1).

Given that, To determine an equation in point-slope form for the line that passes through the point with the given slope. point: (-1, 5) and m=-4.

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is a tangent angle made by line with horizontal. i.e. m =tanx where x in degrees.

Here,

The point-slope of the equation of the line is given by,

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Put the values in the above equation of the line

y - 5 = -4 (x - (-1))

y - 5 = -4 (x + 1)

Thus, the required point-slope form of the equation of the line is y - 5 = -4(x + 1).

Answer:

d) one solution; (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to follow problem directions. A graph is attached, showing the one solution to be (4, 1).

_____

You know there will be one solution because the lines have different slopes. Each is in the form ...

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The first line has slope -1 and y-intercept +5; the second line has slope 1 and y-intercept -3. The slope is the number of units of "rise" for each unit of "run", so it can be convenient to graph these by starting at the y-intercept and plotting points with those rise and run from the point you know.
