Please help! desperate need of it:)
Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).

Question

anonymous · Answer

Slope-intercept form:
$$y = mx + b$$
We know the slope:
$$m = -2$$
So plug that into our original equation:
$$y=-2x+b$$
We already know what $(x, y)$ are at one of the points:
$$(x,y) = (2, -8)$$

Can you do the rest?

wat is x and y?

anonymous · Answer

$$(x,\ \ \ \ \ \ \ y) \ = \ (2, \ \ \ -8)$$

anonymous · Answer

wouldnt it be y=-2x-8
