what is the equation in standard form of the line that passes through the point (4,-8) and has a slope of 1/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/4
(4,-8)....x = 4 and y = -8
now sub and find b, the y int
-8 = 1/4(4) + b
-8 = 1 + b
-8 - 1 = b
-9 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1/4x - 9....but we need it in standard form

y = 1/4x - 9
-1/4x + y = -9...multiply everything by -4
x - 4y = 36 <====
