Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line through point (6, -1) with slope m = 4.
Solution:
Given, the point is (6, -1)
The slope is m = 4.
We have to write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form.
The standard form of equation of the line in slope-intercept form is given by
y = mx + c
Where, m is the slope.
Now, substituting the values of x, y and m
-1 = 4(6) + c
-1 = 24 + c
c = -1 - 24
c = -25
Put the value of c in the standard equation,
y = 4x - 25
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 4x - 25.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line through point (6, -1) with slope m = 4.
Summary:
The equation of the line passing through point (6, -1) with slope m = 4, in slope-intercept form is y = 4x - 25.
