Question

A line with a slope of 8 passes through the point (1, 4). What is its equation in

slope-intercept form?
Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.
y=0x

Answer 1

y=8x + -4

Explanation:

you have to find your y-intercept

if (1,4) is the point your working with you subtract 1,8

1-1=0

4-8=-4

your new plot point would be (0,-4)

making that your y-intercept because x=0

making your equation y=8x+ -4

Answer 2

y=8x-4

Explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

y= 8x-4

8x because slope is 8 and m=slope

-4 because y intercept is -4. if at x=1, y=4 you go back one x making you go down 8 y values and 4-8= -4
