Question

A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. what is the slope - intercept equation for this line?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = 1/4;   (-8, -1)

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - [-1] = 1/4 (x - [-8] )

  y + 1 = 1/4 (x + 8)

  y + 1 = 1x/4 + 8/4 = x/4 +2

        y = x/4 + 2 - 1

        y = x/4 + 1
