Question

Find an equation of the line with slope m that passes through the given point. Put the answer in slope intercept form (4, 5), m = -2/7

Answer 1

y = -2/7 x + 43/7

Explanation:

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The equation of line with a slope of m = -2/7

y = -2/7 x + b

Since the point (4,5) is on the line, it will satisfy the equation.

5 = -2/7 (4) + b

b = 5 - (-2/7(4))

b = 43/7

y = -2/7 x + 43/7
