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

3 answers

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!
