Question

Write the slope-intercept from of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope through (-1,4), slope = - 2

Answer 1

The point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1) where x1 ad y1 are the coordinates given and the m is the slope, which is given also. Plugging these in, we have
y - 4 = -2(x - (-1)), which simplifies to y - 4 = -2(x + 1)
