The line y = mx + 8 contains the point (-4, 4), calculate the value of m.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Since, (-4, 4) lies on the line y = mx + 8, so it satisfies the equation. Substituting x = -4 and y = 4 in the equation y = mx + 8 we have, ⇒ 4 = -4m + 8 ⇒ 4m = 8 - 4 ⇒ 4m = 4 ⇒ m = ⇒ m = 1. Hence, m = 1.
