Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-4, -6) and has a
slope of – ?

Answer 1

y=-x-10

or

y= -(x+4) - 6

Explanation:

Point slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+6=-1(x+4)

y= -x - 10

Answer 2

y= -x -10

y=mx+b

plug in -6 for y and -4 for x and - for m

-6=-(-4)+b

solve for b

b=-10
