I think you have typed this wrong

is the slope -4  (or -14)

answers would normally be something like y=-14x +10 

why are they written y = x4 ....?

What is the equation of a line that passes through (4, 7) and has a slope of −1/4?

y=x/4−7/4

y=−x/4+7/4 

y=−x/4+8

y=x/4+8

sorry they where all fractions

mrnood · Answer

ok - that is better

so - a straight line has an equation
y=mx+b

where m and b are constant values
m is the slope


SO to start with:
 you know the slope is -1/4

which 2 answers have a slope of -1/4 ?

anonymous · Answer

a and b?
