Question

Comeplete the equation of the line whose slope is -2 and y-intercept is (0,-8)

Answer 1

When you write the equation of a line in the form

`y=mx+q`

then
`m` is the slope, and the y-intercept is
`(0,q)`

So, if you want slope 2 and y-intercept (0, -8), your line is

`y=-2x-8`

Answer 2

y = -2x - 8

Explanation:

The formula for a slope line is

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope that's given in the problem, and b is simply the y value of the y-intercept, which is also given.

I hope this helps!
