Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form to represent a line with an x intercept of 8 and a y intercept of -4

Answer 1

y=-5/4x-10

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope intercepte form is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercepte. Here m= -5/4→ y=-5/4x+b ←partial equation

to fine b, substitute (-8,0) into the partial equation

→0=10+b→b=-10

→y= -5/4x-10

←in slope- intercept form

hope this helped! :)
