Question

15. Given the slope of -1/4 and a point on the line of (2,-5),
Write the equation of the line in point-slope form.
Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y+5=-0.25(x-2)

y=-0.25x+ c

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cordinates of one point be x, y and another as given 2, -5 then the line equation will be y--5=m(x-2) where m reoresent slope. Since we're given slope then the above equation can be re-written as y+5=-0.25(x-2)

(B)

With slope intercept form, it will appear as y= mx+c where c is tge y intercept. Since we're not given the value of y intercept, we leave it as it is but for the gradient m we have it as -0.25 hence the final equation is written as y=-0.25x+c
