Question

Write an equation in the form y = mx + b

Answer 1

y=-2x+8

Explanation:

So I select 2 points:

(0,8) and (4,0)

so then I find the slope.

m =
`(8-0)/(0-4) \\=(8)/(-4) \\=(2)/(-1) \\=-2`

m = -2

Then the b (y-intercept) is 8, so equation is:

y=-2x+8

Hoped I helped ([P.S. I love math!)
