Question

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept

form that has a slope of 5/8 and has a y-intercept
of 2.

Answer 1

y=(5/8)x+2

Explanation:

Equation of Line in Slope-Intercept Form is y=mx+c

where m is the Slope and c is the y-intercept

so for our Problem

m=5/8 and c=2

y=(5/8)x+2

Answer 2

Explanation:

The general equation is y = mx + b

The slope is m

and b is the y intercept.

Now all you need do is substitute the values given for m and b

m = 5/8 = 0.625

b = 2

Answer

• y = 5/8 * x + 2 I think the decimal form is much clearer.
• y = 0.526x + 2
