Question

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

–x + 4y = –1

x – 4y = –1

x + y = 3

x – y = –3

Answer 1

can you follow this example?

Answer 2

that is,using the point-slope intercept form

Answer 3

Hello, Pam. Very beautiful name.

Do you know the formula for putting an equation in Ax + Bx = Y, given the point-slope formula?

Answer 4

it's a timed exam so I just need an answer please.

Answer 5

Thank you, @Compassionate

Answer 6

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

You want to use the formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y1 = 4
x1 = -1
m = -1

Plug 'em in:
y - 4 = -1(x - (1-))
y - 4 = -1(x + 1)
y - 4 = -x - 1
y = 4/x + 4

Now put that in Ax + Bx + = Y

I cannot do your work any further from this point. ~~
