Question

What is the equation of a line with a y-intercept of -5 and a slope of 8?

Answer 1

y = − 1 4 x + 8

Explanation:

The equation of a line in

slope-intercept form

is

y = m x + b

where m is slope and b, the y-intercept

Here b = 8 and slope

= − 1 4

Substituting these values into the equation gives us:

y = − 1 4 x + 8
