What do you mean.

What have you tried to answer the question for yourself?

hba · Answer

Well the formula for slope intercept form is,

$$\huge\ (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$$

hba · Answer

Now trying plugging in the
 slope(m)=4

and

(x1,y1)=(1,-9)

@barnoldwrl 

Can you do it ?

skullpatrol · Answer

@hba  please don't provide any formulas until we find out what she knows :)

hba · Answer

Well,

providing formulas is just a kick-off to help users.


Everyone has their way of teaching.

Thankyou.

anonymous · Answer

I knew the formula thank you @hba...

hba · Answer

Well can you plug in the points @barnoldwrl

anonymous · Answer

Yeah

anonymous · Answer

having trouble figuring it out though

skullpatrol · Answer

Do you understand the "y-intercept form" y=mx +b?

skullpatrol · Answer

Since this is what you are asked for in the question: "Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form"?

skullpatrol · Answer

Note: 

slope intercept form =  "y-intercept form" y=mx +b
