Question

Write the equation of the line that passes by (–1, 4) with a slope of –1 in standard form.

Answer 1

standard form is:

ax+by=c ; where slope is defined as -a/b

Answer 2

x + y = c gives us a slope of -1/1 = -1

use the point to calibrate for c

Answer 3

So It Would Be A(-1)+B(4)=3 ?

Answer 4

x+y=3

Answer 5

x + y = c
(-1) + (4) = c
3 = c

x+y = 3

Answer 6

So What's The Standform Of The Equation ?

Answer 7

Standard Form*

Answer 8

you want to set up the equation like this. (y-y1)=m(x-x1)
where x1,y1 are your given coordinates. and m is they slope. so you just plug and chug

Answer 9

i would assume it is the equation which we gave you and worked out for you ...

Answer 10

y-(4) =-1(x-(-1))
y-4=-x-1
y=-x+3
that is the line of the equation

Answer 11

Well Its Not . . Nevermind Someone Else Gave Me The RIGHT Answer

Answer 12

hope that helped...?

Answer 13

It Did Thanks :D

then you should complain to whoever wrote your question :)

Answer 15

The standard equation of line is Ax+By=C, here A=B=1,C=3 therefore 1x+1y=3 is the standard equation

Answer 16

slope intercept form of a line is:

y = -x + 3
