Question

A line passes through the point(-8, -9) and has a slope of Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line. -5/4​

Answer 1

y = (-5/4)x - 19

Explanation:

Given information,

→ Slope(m) = -5/4

→ Point = (-8, -9)

→ y-intercept = b

The slope-intercept form is,

→ y = mx + b

Now the y-intercept will be,

→ y = mx + b

→ -9 = (-5/4)(-8) + b

→ -9 = 10 + b

→ b = -9 - 10

→ [ b = -19 ]

Then the required equation is,

→ y = mx + b

→ [ y = (-5/4)x - 19 ]

Hence, this is the equation.
