Question

The equation of a line with slope m= - 1/4 and including point (-3, 5) is y= - 1/4 x - 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = - $\frac{1}{4}$, hence

y = - $\frac{1}{4}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 3, 5) into the partial equation

5 = $\frac{3}{4}$ + c ⇒ c = $\frac{17}{4}$

y = - $\frac{1}{4}$ x + $\frac{17}{4}$ ← equation of line
