What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -4 and goes through (-1,6)

y = - 4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 4, thus

y = - 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 6) into the partial equation

6 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 4 = 2

y = - 4x + 2 ← equation of line

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8
