Question

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point (2, -8).


A. y = -2x - 4
B. y = -2x - 8
C. y = -2x + 18
D. y = -2x – 12

Answer 1

use point intercept form to help solve for slope-intercept form

Answer 2

Do you just want the answer or the explanation?

Answer 3

answer and explanation

Answer 4

\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 5

that is the point-slope form. you are given the slope of -2 which is m. And the point (2, -8) are x1 and y1. plug the numbers into the point slope form
