Question

Find equation of a line given slope and y-intercept. Write the equation in slope-intercept form Slope 1/3 and y-intercept (0,-8)

Answer 1

Given:

The slope is,

`m=(1)/(3)`

The y-intercept is (0, -8).

To find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

The general slope-intercept form of a line is,

`y=mx+c`

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

So, substituting the values we get,

`y=(1)/(3)x-8`

Thus, the equation of the line is,

`y=(1)/(3)x-8`
