Question

A line passes through the point (2,8) and has a slope of -5/2

Write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

Answer 1

Here’s the explanation:

y=Mx +b

They gave us the slope (m) and a point.

Once you plug the point and solve you will find b.

8=-5/2(2)+b
b=8+5
b=13.

y= -5/2x+13

Graphing it will kill your time...

Answer 2

Y=-5/2+13

Graphing it out is probably the easiest way to learn
