Question

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

Answer 1

y = - 5x + 8

Explanation:

Given that :

Intercept = 8

Slope = - 5

Recall, the general. Slope - intercept equation :

y = bx + c

Where;

b = slope ; c = intercept

Plugging the Given slope and intercept values, equation becomes ;

y = - 5x + 8
