Graph the line that has a slope of $-\frac{1}{6}$ and includes the point $(0,4)$.
Click to select points on the graph.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the slope and point
The slope of the line is given as $-\frac{1}{6}$ and the point is $(0, 4)$.
Step 2: Use the point-slope form to find the equation of the line
The point-slope form of a line is given by:
\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]
Substituting the given slope \( m = -\frac{1}{6} \) and the point \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 4) \):
\[ y - 4 = -\frac{1}{6}(x - 0) \]
\[ y - 4 = -\frac{1}{6}x \]
\[ y = -\frac{1}{6}x + 4 \]
Final Answer
The equation of the line is:
\[ y = -\frac{1}{6}x + 4 \]
