Question

[HELP FAST] A line passes through the point (4, -9) and has a slope of -5/4

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y= \frac{-5}{4}x -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

using pt-slope form, we get  $y - (-9) = \frac{-5}{4}(x-4)$. Using the Distributive Property and Addition Propert of Equality, we can simplify this equation into $y = \frac{-5}{4}x + 5$ by factoring -5/4 into (x-4) and subtracting 9 from both sides.
