Question

Is the equation y = 3x – 8 written in A) point-slope B) slope-intercept C) standard form?

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

`y = mx + b`

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

`y = 3x-8`

Thus, we have to:
`m = 3\\b = -8`

Therefore, the given equation is of the slope-intersection form.

Answer:

Option B
