Question 1131604


{{{y = mx + b}}}


given: line passes through ({{{-5}}}, {{{1}}}), and slope is {{{m=-4}}}

{{{y = -4x + b}}}........use point to find {{{b}}}

{{{1 = -4(-5) + b}}}

{{{1 = 20 + b}}}

{{{1 -20 =b}}}

{{{b=-19}}}

and the equation of the line is {{{y = -4x -19}}}


{{{drawing( 600, 600, -10, 10, -25, 10,
circle(-5,1,.12), locate(-5,1,p(-5,1)),
 graph( 600, 600, -10, 10, -25, 10, -4x -19)) }}}
