Answer 1

Which is the equation of the line passing through (0, 8) and (4, 0)?

The one that you are on is correct

y = -2x + 8

Explanation:

You're welcome.

Answer 2

y=-2x+8

Explanation:

We want an equation of the form y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y when x=0.

The slope of a line through the two given points:

(4,0) and (0,8)

Rise = (8-0) = 8

Run = (0-4) = -4

Slope = 8/-4 = -2

The y-intercept is given by the point (0,8), which tells us that b=8.

The equation is y = -2x + 8
