Question

A line has a slope of 8 and passes through the point (0,5). What is its equation inslope-intercept form?Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

The form of the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

`y=mx+b`

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of the y-coordinate when the x-coordinate is equal to zero

Therefore in our case

m=8

b=5

We substitute the values

`y=8x+5`

ANSWER

y=8x+5
