Question

Write an equation in point-slope form that has a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of -8.

Can somone please help me!!

Answer 1

y1+8= -1/2(x1-0)

Point slope form is y1-y=m(x1-x)

Slope: -1/2
Y-intercept: -8
A point from the line: (0, -8)

Answer 2

y = -1/2x - 8

Explanation:

y = mx + b

y = -1/2x - 8
