Question

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

Answer 1

y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Answer 2

use the equation y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 3

y - 4 = -1(x - -1) this is the equation but you can put it in point slope form now

Answer 4

here are the choices:
a. –x + 4y = –1
b. x – 4y = –1
c. x + y = 3
d. x – y = –3

Answer 5

Yeah I just read it wants it in standard form so
y - 4 = -1(x - -1)
y -4 = -1x - 1
y =-1x - 1 +4
y= -1x + 3 <---slope point form and now transform to standard form
1x + y = 3

answer = c
