Answer 1

y = -x + 8

Explanation:

In order to write the equation of the line in slope intercept form, we first need to find the slope of the line given 2 coordinates.

There is multiple coordinates, however I am going to choose the two closest to the y intercept. We can either use
`(rise)/(run)` or
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`. For the sake of simplicity, we will use
`(rise)/(run)`

Using
`(rise)/(run)`, the slope is -1.

The line passes through (0, 8), which means the y intercept is 8. Thus, the equation is
`y=-x+8`
