Question

Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point plz

Answer 1

Answer: $y=-x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is $y=mx+b$, so we have to find a way to substitute the given information into the equation. We have $m$ because it gives us the slope.  The slope is -1, as the directions state. Now, we substitute it in and solve for b:

1. Substitute -1 in for m⇒ $y=-x+b$
2. Substitute in the point (-1, -4) in for $x$ and $y$ respectively to get $-4=-(-1)+b$
3. Solve the equation to get b= -5

After getting the y-intercept, you have the full equation!

Answer 2

The answer is A) y=-x-5

Hope this helps!
