Question

I need help with this. Can someone help?

Answer 1

The change in y is 8 and the change in x is 1. So the slope is change in y/change in x

So m=8/1=8

And they want to know the linear equation in

y=mx+b

b is known as the y-intercept. The y-intercept is of the form (0,b). Here, when x=0, y=-28

So b=-28

Now plugging m=8 and b=-28, we get

y=8x-28

Hope this helps!
