Question

What is the equation of a line with a y-intercept of -5 and a slope of 8? Oy=8r+5 Oy=8x - 5 Oy= -52 +8 y=-5.6 - 8

Answer 1

The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b in slope-intercept form, is:

$y=mx+b$

If the y-intercept is -5 and the slope is 8, then m=8 and b=-5. Then, the requested equation would be:

$y=8x-5$
