Question

A line with a slope of -4 passes the point (-3,5). what is the equation of the line.

Answer 1

You will need to use the line equation in the point-intercept form that is represented as:

y - yo = m.(x - xo)

Where:
xo, yo -> Point coordinate
P (-3,5)

m -> Slope = -4

Calculating:

-> y - 5 = -4.(x - (-3))
-> y - 5 = -4.(x + 3)
-> y - 5 = -4x - 12
-> y = -4x - 12 + 5

-> y = -4x - 7
or...
-> 4x + y + 7 = 0
