Question

write the linear equation described. in slope intercept form: 1, 4; slope =-2

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The point slope form is:-

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

So , substituting, we have

y - 4 = -2(x - 1)

y = -2x + 2 + 4

y = -2x + 6  (slope/intercept form).
