Question

What is the equation in point-slope form and slope intercept form of the line given slope 1-/4, (7, -5)?

Answer 1

Form of the line equation having`-1/4` as slope

`y = -x/4 + b.`

Find b by writing line passes at point (7, -5):

`-5 = -7/4 + b -> b = 7/4 - 5 = -13/4.`

`y = -x/4 - 13/4`
