Answer:
y= x-8

Explanation:

  • Slope intercept form has a general formula of
    y=mx +b
  • m represents the slope of the line
  • b represents the value of the lines y-intercept

  • the equation must be rearranged into the general formula by isolating for 'y'


y-x=-8

  • to remove the x from the left side of the equation the opposite operation must be done to both sides


y-x+x=-8+x

  • the negative and positive x cancel out on the left side, leaving us with the equation with y by itself
  • now you can rearrange to put the equation into
    y=mx+b

Final Answer:
y=x-8
