What is a slope of 1/4 going through (0,-4)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

How do I find and put the slope?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I think you mean: "Find the equation of the straight line with slope 1/4 and passing thru the point (0,-4). The slope is given in the problem statement. Please plot the point (0,-4) now.

Question –“Draw a line with a slope of ¼ through the point (0, -4)” @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

As before: Please graph the given point (0,-4). Next, draw through that point a line with slope 1/4. Note that a slope of 1/4 points to a "run" of 4 and a "rise" of 1. Which answer graph best fits this problem?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Nothing fits 4,1 and 0,-4. I DON'T get how I am to label the slope. @mathmale

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Would you be willing to draw a set of x- and y-axes in the Draw utility and then plot and label the point (0,-4)?
