Question

Find the​ slope-intercept form of the line whose slope is

4

and that passes through the point

(−8,11).

Answer 1

y-11 = 4(x+8)

y = 4x +32 +11

y = 4x + 43 in slope intercept form.

4=slope, 43=y-intercept = the point (0,43)

when the linear equation is solved for y, the slope = the coefficient of the x term and intercept = the constant term

check the answer, plug in the point (-8,11)

11=4(-8)+43 =-32+43 =11
