Write the equation in slope intercept form

Question

slope: 4/5, y-intercept: -8

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (meaning that (0,b) is the point of intersection of the line and the y-axis)

So, we have y = (4/5)x - 8.

Answer 2

Student Question: How to write an equation in the slope intercept form?

What's noted in the geometry math question?

The slope of the line is 4/5

The y intercept is - 8

What is the slope intercept format?

y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Step 1:

Substitute the given values into the slope intercept form.

m = 4/5

b = -8

y = mx + b

y = 4/5 x - 8

Final Solution:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is y = 4/5 x - 8

I hope the mathematical calculations (step by step approach) was helpful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.
