Answer:
y = (1/4)x - 5
Explanation:
We'll look for an equation having the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, the value of y when x=0.
We are told the slope, m, is (1/4):
y = (1/4)x+ b
We need to find a value of b such that it forces the line to go through point (8,-3). Enter that point in the equation:
y = (1/4)x + b
-3 = (1/4)(8) + b for (8,-3)
-3 = 2 + b
b = -5
The equation is y = (1/4)x - 5
