Question 504427: find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express the equation in slope-intercept form. Slope=4 containing points (-7,1)
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

y = mx+b

1 = 4(-7)+b

1 = -28+b

1+28 = b

29 = b

b = 29

So the equation of the line is y = 4x+29
