Question

What is the slope intercept form of the equation for the line provided?

Answer 1

Answer : B

slope = 5/8

given point is (-8,-4)

Use point slope formula

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m = 5/8 , x1 = -8 and y1 =-4

Plug in all the values in the formula

`y - (-4) =(5)/(8)(x - (-8))`

`y+4 =(5)/(8)x + 5`

Subtract 4 on boths ides

`y=(5)/(8)x + 1`

So answer is option B
