What is the equation of the line with slope # m= -2/7 # that passes through # (-1/4,-3/7) #? Algebra Forms of Linear Equations Write an Equation Given the Slope and a Point 1 Answer Bill Jorgensen Jun 2, 2018 #y+1/4 = -2/7(x+1/4)# Explanation: #y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)# #y-(-1/4) = -2/7(x-(-1/4))# #y+1/4 = -2/7(x+1/4)# Answer link Related questions When writing an equation of a line, if I know more than one point, does it matter which one I choose?
