Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (8,1) and has a slope of -3/4 PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Answer: y = 7 over 10 x -8

Step-by-step explanation:The point we are given (0,−8) is the y-intercept (c). The clue for this is that the x-value is 0, which means the point lies on the y-axis.

Answer 2

y = -3/4x + 7

Explanation:

Given: m = -3/4

y = mx + b

(1) = -3/4(8) + b

1 = -6 + b

b = 7

Use m and b to form equation of line:

y = mx + b

y = -3/4x + 7
