Question

A line passes through the point (4,-7) and has a slope of -6 write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

Answer 1

Best way to do this: point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Sub point/slope in to point slope equation

y-(-7)= -6(x-4)

Distribute and make appropriate signs

y+7=-6x+24

Rearrange into slope intercept form

**y=-6x+17**
