Question
Identify the equation of the line with a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of 4
y = 3x + 4
y = 3x – 4
y = –3x + 4
y = –3x – 4
Hint:
Equation of a line in slope intercept form can be written as y = mx + c, where m = slope and c = y-intercept.
The correct answer is: y = –3x + 4
GIVEN- Slope = m = -3 y-intercept = c = 4 TO FIND- Equation of the line. SOLUTION- We know that equation of a line in slope intercept form can be written as y = mx + c, where m = slope and c = y-intercept. ∴ substituting the values of m & c in y = mx + c, we get- y = -3x + 4 FINAL ANSWER- Option 'c' i.e. '-3x + 4' is the correct answer to the given question.
