Homework Help Forum: Algebra ll

Posted by Carol on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 11:49pm.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that has a slope of -4 and passes through (1,2)

Choices: y= -2x+4
y= -4x+6
y= -4x+9

  • Algebra ll - jim, Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 6:36am

    Slope-intercept form y=mx +c where m is the slope.

    You are told that the slope is -4, so the equation muct be like

    y = -4x + c

    That rules out one of your choices.

    Now, of the other two, the equation must be true for the point (1,2).

    So which of these is true?
    2 = -4 * 1 + 6
    2 = -4 * 1 + 9
    and then you have your answer!
