What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 4) and has a
slope of —5?

Hey there,

So in order for us to write the equation we need to know the y-intercept.

We use the slope intercept form to solve for that:

                                            y = mx + b

We plug in the slope and the point:

Now we solve for b:

Since we have the y-intercept and the slope now we can write it in the equation:

Hope I helped,
