Question

How do you write the equation of a line in point slope form and slope intercept form given point j(4,1) with slope -4?

Answer 1

You may use the general relationship:
`y-y_0=m(x-x_0)`
Where (`x_0,y_0`) are the coordinates of your point (`4,1`) and `m` is the slope.

So finally:
`y-1=-4(x-4)`

You can now rearrange it.
