Question

Line equations from point/slope

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

$y = \frac{1}{4} x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in and solve the equation. We are trying to find the y-intercept:

$y= \frac{1}{4}x + b \\ 2 = \frac{1}{4} ( - 4) + b \\ 2 = - 1 + b \\ \frac{ + 1 = + 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: }{3 = b}$

We found the y-intercept, so now we plug it in it's right full spot in the formula.

$y = \frac{1}{4} x + 3$
