Question

Identify an equation of a line in slope-intercept form that passes through (1, 2) with a slope of -8

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -8x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -8x + b

2 = -8(1) + b

2 = -8 + b

10 = b

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -8x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept can be found from the equation ...

  b = y -mx

Using the given point and slope, this is ...

  b = 2 -(-8)(1) = 10

Then the slope-intercept equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = -8x +10
