Question

A line passes through the point (8, -1) and has a slope of

5/4
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y=5/4x-11
Because plugs in x and y so you get the equation -1=5/4(8)+b solve it like a normal equation and b=-11

Answer 2

y=5/4x-9

Explanation:

m = 5/4

x0=8

y0=-1

y - y0 = m(x - x0)

y - (-1) = 5/4(x - (8))

y = 5/4x -10 +1

y = 5/4x-9
