Question

Find the equation of the line slope =-4 through (-2,9)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, one way we can find the equation is to plug the x and y values into y = mx + b

We m (slope) is -4 so

y = -4x + b

We want to find b so we plug in x and y (-2 and 9)

9 = -4 (-2) + b

9 = 8 + b

In this case, b is 1

Now we plug this to make our equation,

y = -4x + 1
