Question

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that has a slope of 6 and passes through (0,-8)

Answer 1

the general equation of the line is

`y=mx+b`

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

the slope is on statement

Y-intercept is the value of y when the line touches the y-axis or where x=0

the point (0,-8) is the y intercept ebcause the value of x is 0

then the y-intercept is -8 and b=-8

so replacing b and the slope...

`y=6x-8`
