Question

A line passes through the point (4,-4) and has a slope of -4. Find

Answer 1

Answer:

y = - 4x + 12

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 = - 4 , then

y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation

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

- 4 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 16 = 12

y = - 4x + 12 ← equation of line
