Jamie Singh · Answer 1

y=mx+b

y=7 m=-5/4 x=-4 b=?

7=-5/4 (-4) + b

7=5+b

7-5=5-5+b

b=2

Therefore, the equation is y=-5/4x+2

That's it.

Gilbert Merritt · Answer 2

Y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

y - 7 = - 1¹/₄ (x - (-4))

y - 7 = - 1¹/₄ (x + 4)

y - 7 = - 1¹/₄ (x) - 1¹/₄ (4)

y - 7 = - 1¹/₄x - 5

+ 7 + 7

y = - 1¹/₄x + 2
