"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: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

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

OpenStudy (mathmale):

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.
