Question

Find an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope. Express your answer in slope– intercept form. (8,0), m = -3

Answer 1

sorry that was slope point form, the slope intercept form is y=mx+b, so y=-3x+24

I just put it in slope point form then change it to y intercept y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 2

Have you considered the Point-Slope form to get started?

Answer 3

y = mx + b (solving for b, the y intercept)
slope(m) = -3
(8,0) x = 8 and y = 0
now we sub
y = mx + b
0 = -3(8) + b
0 = -24 + b
24 = b

your line is : y = -3x + 24
I agree with your first post :)

Answer 4

So many ways to solve a problem :)
