Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the point (-1,-4) and has a slope of m=-2

y = -2x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

Need to find b, we have 2 points (0,b), (-1,-4) and a slope m = -2

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 -x1)

-2 = (-4 - b) / (-1 - 0)

Solve for b

-2(-1 - 0) = -4 - b

2 = -4 - b

2 + 4 = b

6 = b

b = 6

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
