Find the equation of a line

whose slope is 4 and which passes through the point (5, - 7)



As slope is given m = 4 and passing through (5, - 7).using slope - intercept form of equation of line, we will find value of intercept first


y = mx + c ………..(1)


- 7 = 4(5) + c


- 7 = 20 + c


c = - 7 - 20


c = - 27


Putting the value of c in equation (1), we have


y = 4x + ( - 27)


y = 4x - 27


4x - y - 27 = 0


So, the required equation of line is 4x - y - 27 = 0.
