Question

Question 26: write the equation that describes the line with slope=5 and y-intercept =8 in slope intercept form.example: y=mx+b

Answer 1

y = 5x + 8

Explanation:

Start with y = mx + b: general slope-intercept form, equation of a line:

Replace m with 5, y with 8 and x with 0 (since the y-intercept is (0, 8):

8 = 5(0) + b. Then b must be 8, and the desired equation is

y = 5x + 8
