Answer:
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], thus
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 4, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 1 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 1 = 1
y = - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + 1 ← equation of line
Answer:
y = (-¼)x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (-¼)x + c
When x = -4, y = 2
2 = (-¼)(-4) + c
2 = 1 + c
c = 1
y = (-¼)x + 1
