Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point ( -8,-7) and has a
slope of 1?​

Answer 1

y = x+1

Explanation:

We can use

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1x +b

Substitute the point into the equation

-7 = 1* (-8) +b

-7 = -8+b

Add 8 to each side

-7+8 = -8+8+b

b = 1

Put this back into the equation

y = x+1
