Question

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -4 and a point (-2,5) on the line

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -4x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any equation when you have the slope and a point, start with point-slope form and then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -4(x + 2)

y - 5 = -4x - 8

y = -4x - 3
