What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 3) and has a
slope of -1/4

Given parameters:

 Slope of the line  =

 Coordinates of the points = (-8, 3)

Unknown:

Equation of the line = ?

Solution:

To find the equation of the line, we must note that any straight line can be represented by the equation;

        y  = mx + c

 where x and y are the coordinates

             m is the slope

              c is the y-intercept of the line

Input the parameters and solve for c;

     x = -8 and y  = 3;

         3  = x (-8) + c

         3 = 2 + c

        c  = 1;

  So the equation of the line is ;

     y  = x + 1

     multiply through by 4;

   4y = -x + 4

The equation of the line is 4y = -x + 4
