Question

what is the equation of a line that has a slope of -4 and goes through (-1,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

slope(m) = - 4

Points ( x1 , y1) = ( - 1 , 6)

Now

The equation of a line is given by

y - y1 = m( x - x1)

y - 6 = - 4 ( x + 1)

y - 6 = -4x - 4

4x + y - 6 + 4 = 0

4x + y - 2 = 0

Hope it helps:)

Answer 2

Answer:

y -6 = 6(x +1)  

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :  

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)     m=6      x_1= -1       y_1 = 6

an equation for this line is :  y -6 = 6(x +1)
