Question

M= -1/8, (8, -3) Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that has the given slope m and passes through the given point.

Answer 1

Answer: y=-1/8x-2

Explanation:

Given the slope, we can start to fill out the slot-intercept form equation.

y=-1/8x+b

We don't know the value of b, but we can plug in the given point to solve for b.

-3=-1/8(8)+b

-3=-1+b

b=-2

Now that we know b, we can finish our slope-intercept equation.

y=-1/8x-2
