Question

Write an equation in slope intercept form fro the line described. Slope -6/5, passes through (0,8)

Answer 1

well your basic equation would be y=(-6/5)x+8

Answer 2

so would m=-6/5, b=8 y=-6/5+8 ?

Answer 3

Yes, but do not forget to add an 'x' to the last equation. You just put y=-6/5 + 8. The 'x' added to the -6/5 signifies the slope.

Answer 4

Ok thanks

Answer 5

You're welcome!

Answer 6

how about slope -2, passes thru (-3,14) would it be y=2x+8 ?

Answer 7

I'm not quite sure where you are getting the 8 from.
You're slope is -2 so it should be y= -2x instead of just 2x. Be careful with your signs.
The b in the equation should just be 14.
Ultimately, the equation should be y=-2x+14
