Question 255869: Write the equation of each line using the given information.
1. m= 1/4, (4,3)
1/4 being one fourth NOT 1 divided by four.
2. m= -2/3, (6,-3)
Those are the two questions that I just don't know how to do on my homework. I JUST learned this very briefly and did not get a chance to understand or absorb the way to solve these. Can you give me a step by step example to one of these so I understand this a little better?

if you know the slope (m) and a point on the line (a,b), then a general equation is (y - b) = m (x - a)

1. (y - 3) = 1/4 (x - 4)
___ multiplying by 4 ___ 4y - 12 = x - 4 ___ 4y = x + 8
