Question

what is the equation of a line that passes through the point (-4,4) and has a slope of -2

Answer 1

Equation is 2x + y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

• Step 1: Use the point slope form to get the equation. The point is (x1, y1) = (-4, 4) and slope, m = -2

Point slope Form ⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)

⇒ y - 4 = -2(x - -4)

⇒ y - 4 = -2(x + 4)

⇒ y - 4 = -2x - 8

⇒ 2x + y = -4 is the equation
