Question

Find the equation of a line with given slope and y-intercept. Write the equation in slope-intercept form. slope 4 and y-intercept (0,-8)

Answer 1

Recall that the slope-point form of the equation of a line is:

`y=mx+b,`

where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept ( or the y-entry if given in ordered pair form).

We are given that:

`\begin{gathered} m=4, \\ b=-8. \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the equation of the line with slope 4 and y-intercept (0,-8) is:

`y=4x-8.`

Answer:

`y=4x-8.`
