Question

Write an equation of the line passing through (-5,6) and having slope - 4. Give the answer in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Solution: The general equation of a line is y = mx+b. Here, m = -4, x = -5 and y = 6.

Thus, we have 6 = -4*-5+c, or c = -14.

So, the equation of the line is y = -4x-14. Answer.
