Question

Write in slope-intercept form the equation of a line having slope -8 and Y-intercept -2

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

y

=

m

x

+

b

Where

m

is the slope and

b

is the y-intercept value.

For this problem we are told:

m

=

−

7

b

=

6

Substituting these values into the formula gives:

y

=

−

7

x

+
