Question

Explain this is to me.

Answer 1

Hi so when you write an equation for a line I like you start with finding the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) in this case it is 6, remember that. Now we need to find the slope. I like to just count over and down from the points they give us. In this case it is 8 down and over 1. 8/1 is just 8 and the line is pointing downwards so the line is negative.

Now we put it together: y=mx+b (m is slope and b is y-intercept)

y= -8x + 6

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

y=mx+b

M=Slope

B=Yintercept (6 in this case)

Where the line crosses the Y axsis

y= -8x + 6

Hope this helps.
