Question

Given the information below, write the equation of each line in slope intercept form.
      Slope - 1 /4 and going through the point (2, 6).

darkknight · Answer

the slope is 1/4?
so 
$$y - 6 = 1/4(x-2)$$
so then y -6 = 1/4(x) - 2/4
Then y = 1/4(x) + 22/4

do you need the picture of the graph

darkknight · Answer

does the slope say 1/4 or -1/4?

jwbejflm · Answer

Slope - 1 /4 and going through the point (2, 6).

darkknight · Answer

is that a negative slope or a positive???
Can you post the graph?

attachment

darkknight · Answer

alright, so the slope was negaitve. 
So first use point slope form
$$y - 6 = -1/4(x-2)$$
Can you convert to slope-intercept from here?

jwbejflm · Answer

not really

darkknight · Answer

okay so  first distribute in the parenthesis, then add 6 to both sides to solve for y

jwbejflm · Answer

so y−12=−1/4x−8 ?

darkknight · Answer

y−6=−1/4(x−2)
so y - 6 = -1/4x + 2/4
Now -1/4x + 26/4 = y

okay thank you
