Question

What is the slope-intercept equation of this line?

(0,8)
-10
10
(6,-4)
O A. y = 8x - 2
O B. y = 2x + 8
O C. y --2x+8
O D. y= -2x+8

Answer 1

Answer: y = -2x + 8 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation: I just took the exam :)

Answer 2

y = -2x+8

Explanation:

We have 2 points so we can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/x2-x1)

m = ( -4 -8)/(6 - 0)

= -12/6

= -2

The y intercept is 8 from the point (0,8)

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x+8
