The answer is C, because 8(x + 9) = 8x + 72. Since it now = y-2=8x+72 you add 2 to the other side which = : y=8x +74

Answer: The equation is y=8x+74

Step-by-step explanation: The basic equation of line in slope-intercept form

is y=mx+c

where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept of the line

Given : y-2=8(x+9)

y-2=8x+72

Adding 2 both sides

y - 2+ 2= 8x+72+2

y=8x+74

We have m=8 and c=74

∴ y=8x+74 is the required equation in slope intercept form
