jigglypuff314 · Answer

point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)
slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
standard form is ax+by=c

jigglypuff314 · Answer

then you just plug in the values
Part 1: y-y1=m(x-x1)
        Given: (-1,6) => (x1,y1) so x1=-1 and y1=6
                  slope = -4 = m
Part 2: using what you get from Part 1 you can distribute and add 6 to both sides
Part 3: you can add 4x to both sides to what you got in Part 2
