Question

write an equation in point slope form of the line through point J (4,1) with slope -4

Answer 1

HELP SOMEONE PLEASE

Answer 2

y = mx + b?

Answer 3

Which one is right? @happytales @undeadknight26

Answer 4

i gave u the base formula....happy gave you it with everything in it...so technically they are both right XD

Answer 5

So happy y=-4x+1 is right, correct?

Answer 6

uhm no?

Answer 7

Point slope is: \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

Slope Intercept is \(y=mx+b\)

Answer 8

The point in point slope form is given to you as something like: \((x_1, y_1) = (5, 3)\). That is just a random example. Your problem has (4, 1) so put that into the first equation above.
