You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
