Answer:

y = 88x - 1/6

Explanation:

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form y = mx + b

"x" and "y" are coordinates for points on the line

"m" is the slope

"b" is y-intercept. (It may be + b or - b depending on if it's positive/negative.)

Since the slope is 88, m = 88.

Since the y-intercept is -1/6, b = -1/6.

Rewrite the equation substituting "m" and "b"

y = mx + b

y = (88)x + (-1/6) Remove brackets. Adding a negative number is same as subtracting

y = 88x - 1/6
