Question

write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line through the points given.through=(4,2) slope=-1/4.i knw it starts out y=-1/4 b/c y=mx+b

Answer 1

Good...

Answer 2

m=1/4 x=4, y=2

Answer 3

Now plug in the x value (4) for the x and the y value (2) for the y and solve for b

Answer 4

m=-1/4

Answer 5

2 = -1/4(4) + b
2 = -1 + b
3 = b

Answer 6

so you now have m - 1/4 and b = 3

what is your equation?

Answer 7

did you get the equation

Answer 8

y=-1/4x+3
