Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given to you by the line y = 1/4 x
The slope is just read as the number in front of x providing that the coefficient of y is 1. If that is not so, then you must divide by the coefficient in front of y. So far what you have is y = 1/4 x + b.
The second part of the question is to use the given point to find b.
x = 4
y = -1
b = ? substitute x and y to find b
y = 1/4 * 4 + b
- 1 = 1/4 * 4 + b
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
The equation of the line is y = 1/4 x - 2 Just to confirm this, I'm going to include the graph with the point 4,-1 on it.
This is the formula for percentage increase and decrease
