Question

Write the equation of a line, in slope-intercept form, with a slope of -2 and a y-intercept of 8.

O y= 2x + 8
O y=-2x - 8
Oy=-2x + 8
O y = 2x - 8

Answer 1

y = -2x + 8

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

• m - slope
• b - y-intercept

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

m = -2

b = 8

Step 2: Find

1. Substitute in variables [Slope-Intercept Form]: y = -2x + 8
