Find the equation of the line through the point (3, -7) with slope of -1/4.
I don't know how to start to solve this problem.
I absolutely do not believe this. It simply cannot be the case. Did the problem just fall out of the sky one day? You were walking along the road and you tripped over it? OK -- If you've been out sick, maybe I can believe it.
Somewhere, some time, somehow, you must have encountered a few basics. Perhaps these:
Slope-Intercept Form: \(\displaystyle y = m*x + b\)
Point-Slope Form: \(\displaystyle (y-y_{0}) = m*(x-x_{0})\)
You are given the information for the Point-Slope Form, a point and the slope.
