Question

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0,8) and has a slope of -1/8,what is the equation of the line?

A.y= 1/8x+8

B.y=-1/8x-8

C.y=8x-8


D.y=-1/8x+8

Please help me!!!!!!

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is D because of the formula "y=mx+b"
the slope is always connected to the x, and "b" is the y axis point of the two coordinate pairs, so it would be minus eight if the coordinate pairs were (0, -8).

`y = mx + b`
m= slope
b= y axis point of the two coordinate pairs
