Respuesta :

Point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Plug in the given
slope = -4
Point ( 4, 1)

y - 1 = -4(x - 4)
y - 1 = -4x +16
add 1 to both sides
y = -4x + 17

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The point-slope form of the line is y - 1 = -4(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, you start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now, input the slope in for m and the point in for (x1, y1).

y - 1 = -4(x - 4)
