Answer:
An equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m = 4 will be:
[tex]y-1 = 4(x-(-4))[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Using the point-slope form of the line equation
[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]
here:
substituting the values m = 4 and the point (-4, 1) in the point-slope form of the line equation
[tex]y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)[/tex]
[tex]y-1 = 4(x-(-4))[/tex]
Thus,
An equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given point and with the given slope m = 4 will be:
[tex]y-1 = 4(x-(-4))[/tex]
Note: It can further be simplified
[tex]y-1=4\left(x+4\right)[/tex]
Add 1 to both sides
[tex]y-1+1=4\left(x+4\right)+1[/tex]
[tex]y=4x+17[/tex]
