A slope of -4 through the point (5,-1) anyone know this?

y = -4x + 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the linear equation y = mx + c for this

m is our slope and c is our offset (y-intercept)

We are informed that our slope is -4 so

y = -4x + c

To find the equation of a line passing through the point (5,-1) we simply plug in our values into our equation

-1 = -4(5) + c

Then we can find c

-1 = -20 + c

19 = c

Now that we have our m and c, we can form an equation of a line that passes through our point:

y = -4x + 19
