Please help need answer now!!!!!! Pleaseee

Keaton knows that the slope of a certain line is m = -8/5. Does he have enough information to write the equation of the line? Explain. A. Yes the y intercept of this equation must be (0,0) so you can write the equation with only the slope value B. yes if you know the value of the slope, then you can guess the location of the y intercept and write the equation C. No, to write the equation of a line do you need to know both the Slope and one ordered pair that lies on the line D. No you don’t need to know the slope of a line to write its equation

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

To obtain either equation we require to know both the slope and one ordered pair that lies on the line.
