Question

A line with a slope of 8 passes through the point (2, 8) .What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 8x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the slope and the given point into y = mx + b to find b

y = mx + b

8 = 8(2) + b

8 = 16 + b

-8 = b

Then, plug this and the slope into the equation

y = 8x - 8 will be the equation

Answer 2

Answer:

y=8x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope 8 goes before the x.

If you subtract 8, the line will pass through the point (2,8)
