Question

How do you find the equation of the line that has a slope of `1/4` and a `y`-intercept of `(0, -3)`?

Answer 1

We can plug it into the slope-intercept form of a line.

Explanation:

We know that the equation of a line is `y=mx+b` with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept.

We can plug in your slope (`1/4`) and your y-intercept (`-3`).

`y=1/4 x + (-3)`

This simplifies to `y=1/4 x-3`.

This is your equation of the line!
