Question

which of the following is the equation of the line that passes though the point (-2,1) and has a slope of 4

Answer 1

An equation that goes through (-2, 1) and has a slope of 4 is y = 4x + 9.

You can find this by looking for the y-intercept (b) by using the slope (m), the point and slope intercept form. The work is below for you.

y = mx + b

1 = 4(-2) + b

1 = -8 + b

9 = b

Now we can use that and the slope to create the equation y = 4x + 9
