Question

Use the slope-intercept form to Graph y=-1/8x+2

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a straight line equation. We only need two points to draw a straight line.

Choose two different numbers, put them into the equation instead of x, and calculate the value of y.

`y=-(1)/(8)x+2`

for x = 8

`y=-(1)/(8)\cdot8+2=-(8)/(8)+2=-1+2=1`

(8, 1)

for x = -8

`y==-(1)/(8)\cdot(-8)+2=(8)/(8)+2=1+2=3`

(-8, 3)

Mark the points in the coordinate system and draw a straight line through the given points.
