Question

Identify the equation of the line with a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of 4

  1. y = 3x + 4
  2. y = 3x – 4
  3. y = –3x + 4
  4. y = –3x – 4

hintHint:

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.
