"Write the equation of a line with slope m=   and including point (4, -1)"   
Did you accidentally leave out the value of the slope, m?

You need the "point-slope" formula for the equation of a straight line here:

$$y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})$$

mathmale · Answer

Go back and determine what the slope, m, is.  Let $$x _{1}=4 ~and ~ y _{1}=-1.$$

mathmale · Answer

Please show your work.  Basically, you're substituting the values of m, x1 and y1 into a standard ("point-slope") formula for the equation of a straight line.
