Generally gradient = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-x1)
from the above
y2= b
y1=0
x2=0
x1=a
so gradient= (b-0)/(0-a) = b/-a =-b/a

The slope of the line below is -1. write the point-slope equation of the line using the coordinates of the labeled point.

omeli [17]

Answer:

y+9=-1(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

When:

'm' is the slope.

$(x_1,y_1)$ is the coordinate.

We are given the slope of -1 and the coordinate of (4,-9).

So:

$m=-1\\x_1=4\\y_1=-9$

Using the information and replacing the values we get:

$y+9=-1(x-4)$

So, the line equation in point slope form should be: y+9=-1(x-4)
