Answer:

[see below]

Explanation:

We have the point of (-8,1) and a slope of three. We can use y = mx+ b to find the equation and graph the line.

I replaced 'x' and 'y' with the appropriate values, along with 'm' for three.

1 = 3(-8) + b

We can solve for 'b' to get the y-intercept.

1 = 3(-8) + b

1 = -24 + b

1 + 24 = -24 + 24 +b

25 = b

So, we can use the points (0,25) and (-8,1) to graph the line.
