Question

Write the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope (4,-7); m= -1/4

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 7 = -1/4(x - 4)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

• x₁ - x coordinate
• y₁ - y coordinate
• m - slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Slope m = -1/4

Point (4, -7)

Step 2: Write Function

y + 7 = -1/4(x - 4)
