Question

write the slope intercept equation given a point (4,-3) and the slope -5

Answer 1

Given:

The point (4,-3)

The slope -5.

To find the slope-intercept equation:

Using the formula,

$\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-(-3)=-5(x-4) \\ y+3=-5x+20 \\ y=-5x+17 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the slope-intercept equation is,

$y=-5x+17$
