Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line through point J (4, 1) with slope -4.

Answer 1

The equation goes through the point: J(4, 1)

The equation has a slope of: -4

Slope Intercept Form: y = mx +b

Plug in and Solve:

1 = -4(4) + b

1 = -16 + b

+16  +16

----------------

17 = b

Equation: y = -4x +17

Hope I helped!
