Question

a line passes through 8,-8 and has a slope of -5/4, write an equation in slope intercept form for this line

Answer 1

y = -1.25x +2

Explanation:

Using Point-Slope formula we can create an equations.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

substitute:

y + 8 =-5/4(x - 8)

-5/4 = -1.25

y + 8 = -1.25 ( x - 8)

Distribute:

y + 8 = -1.25x + 10

subtract 8 from both sides:

y = 1.25x + 2

Hope this helps!
