Slope=-6; passes through (-4,1)

y = - 6x - 23

the equation of a line in ' slope - intercept form ' is

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

here m = - 6

the partial equation is y = - 6x + c

to find c, substitute ( - 4, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 24 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 24 = - 23

y = - 6x - 23 ← equation in slope - intercept form
