Look at the formula for slope, given unknown point (x,y) and known, given point (-4,-6). Slope m is ; because the slope has been given, too.

Simplify that!


Multiply both sides by the denominator.
----------THIS is the equation for the line in the point-slope form.

Find an equation in point-slope form for the line having the specified slope and containing the point indicated: m=1, (-4,-6)
Point-slope form:  

y - - 6 = 1(x - - 4) ------- Substituting (- 4 , - 6) for , and 1 for m

y + 6 = x + 4

 ----- Subtracting 6 from each side

It's as SIMPLE as that.....nothing COMPLEX!

You're given a POINT and the slope. ALL you need to do is just SUBSTITUTE, nothing else, regardless what other people who don't have a CLUE might say!
