A line has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (4, -9). Which is the equation of the line?

y = -2x - 17

y = -2x - 1

y = -2x + 1

y = -2x + 17

You already know the slope of the line, x and y. So plug those into y=mx+b and solve for b. Then use that same slope and the y-intercept that you found and write an equation
