Question

The slope of the line below is -4 I NEED HELP!!

Answer 1

Hello,
Point-slope form is
`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))`.

Since they already give us the slope, which is 4, and a point from the equation, which is (4, -9),
`x_(1) = 4` and
`y_(1) = -9.`. Then, we can substitute the values into our point-slope formula.

y - (-9) = 4(x - 4), which is equal to y + 9 = 4(x - 4).

Therefore, your final answer is A, y + 9 = 4(x - 4).

Answer 2

Answer: B.
`(y+9)=-4(x-4)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point slope form with slope m and passing through point (a,b) is given by :-

`(y-b)=m(x-a)`

Given : The slope of the line : m= -4

The point from which line is passing : (a,b) = (4,-9)

Then , the point slope form of the given line will be :-

`(y-(-9))=-4(x-4)\\\\\Rightarrow\(y+9)=-4(x-4)`
