Question

write a rule for the linear function whose graph has slope m and contains the given point m=-1/4;(4,0)

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

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 = - $\frac{1}{4}$

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

To find c substitute (4, 0) into the partial equation

0 = - 1 + c ⇒ c = 0 + 1 = 1

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