HELP. Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given
point and has the given slope.
(4, -7); m = -1/4
a. y = -1/4x - 6
b. y = -1/4x - 8
c. y = -1/4x + 6
d. y = -1/ 4x + 8

Answer:

a. y = -1/4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept formula is y = mx + b with m being the slope, b being the y-intercept, and y and x being any point on the line

so plug in the slope and coordinates to solve for b

-7 = (-1/4) × 4 + b

solve for b by simplifying

b = -6
