Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line through point P(6, –1) with slope 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the option A

$y=4x-25$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope-intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line

In this problem we have

$m=4$

$point(6,-1)$

substitute the values in the equation and solve for b

$-1=4*6+b$

$b=-1-24=-25$

The equation of the line is equal to

$y=4x-25$

Answer 2

Y = mx+b

m= 4 

y= 4x+b

solve for b using (6,-1)

-1 = 4 (-1)+b
b=3

therefore equation is y=4x+3

same as (y+1)=4(x-6)
