Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
these seem complicated, but just think about what they are asking. they are giving you a point and a slope to a line.
That gives you the hint to use the "point-slope" formula
if you don't have it memorized you might as well start trying to now. You'll need this over and over and over...
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so plug in the given info
y-4= (-1/4)(x-(-2))
y-4 = -1/4 (x +2)
y-4 = (-1/4)x -1/2
y = (-1/4)x + 7/2 this is the slope intercept formula. y = mx +b
we can now graph this line with the slope intercept formula.
note the graph does pass through (-2,4) and has a -1/4 slope :)
Step 1 ) Separate the 4 and x.
↓
Step 2 ) Simplify the square root of 4.
↓
Step 3 ) Simplify.
↓
This is now in its simplest form, so the final answer is...
or it could be...
Either one is correct. Only difference is one is in simplest form and one isn't.
