I don't understand how to do this. the directions are find an equation in standard form for the line passing through the given point with the given information. the problem is (-1,-1), m= 1/4.
------
Form:: y = mx + b
-----
You have x,y and m ; solve for "b"::
-1 = (1/4)(-1) + b
-1 = (-1/4) + b
(-4/4) = (-1/4) + b
b = -3/4
------
Equation:
y = (1/4)x - (3/4)

================
There aren't many steps.
---
y - y1 = m*(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is the point
y+1 = (1/4)*(x+1)
Convert to standard form:
4(y+1) = x+1
4y + 4 = x + 1
x - 4y = 3

The simplest way is to plug in the data into the point-slope form equation, and convert into standard form; but you might not yet know point-slope form. You can, instead, use slope-intercept form, and separately solve for the y-intercept, and convert from the slope-intercept form equation to the standard form equation.
You are given a point and a slope; so substitute these to find the value of b.
The equation in SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM is .
You want the equivalent equation in a form , which is a basic STANDARD FORM equation for a line. Make the necessary algebra steps!
