A line passes through the point 4 9 and has a slope of 54 Wr

A line passes through the point (4, -9) and has a slope of 5/4. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Solution

The equation of the given line in point slope form is

y- (-9) = 5/4(x-4)

y +9 = 5x/4 - 5

y= 5x/4 -14

Which is slope intercept form with 5/4 as slope and -14 as y-intercept.
