Question

Write in standard form, an equation of the line passing through the given point with the given slope.

slope = –8; (–2, –2)

Answer 1

8x + y = –18
–8x + y = –18
8x – y = –18
8x + y = 18

Answer 2

use

y=mx + b

where,
m = slope
b = y-intercept (the y-intercept is the point where x = 0)

Answer 3

Just sub the slope that is given, and the x and y value of the point and solve for b.

Remember a point in this case is defined as (x,y)

Answer 4

once you have solved for b just sub along with the slope into the equation

y = mx + b

remember the y value is the output and the x value is the input, so they are changing the slope and y-intercept are constants

Answer 5

any questions?

Answer 6

So it would be B?

Answer 7

lol yes, wow they might as well have given you the answer

Answer 8

Yay!

Answer 9

I hope you still go through the problem even though the answer is so evident to understand why it is correct

Answer 10

I do and will. :)

Answer 11

-8(-2) + b = (-2)
b = -16 - 2
b = -18

y = (-8)x + (-18)

Answer 12

y + 8x = -18

Answer 13

so no it is not b sorry I read the answers wrong ha I'm half asleep

Answer 14

It happens to the best of us. :)

Answer 15

but yeah I hope you follow what I'm saying this stuff is important

Answer 16

even though it may not at the moment seem interesting or relevant
