Question

anonymous · Answer

@kierg10, so this one is standard form if you want to take it away :)

anonymous · Answer

lol :) my fave!

y=mx+b

m=-8

y=2
x=-10

2=-8(-10)+b

b=-78

y=-8x-78

@cacique, see how he got the answer?

anonymous · Answer

You plug in the x, y, and m into the equation and solve for b

anonymous · Answer

Satndard form is $Ax + By = C$, that's the slope intercept form, $y=mx+b$

*standard

anonymous · Answer

Oh that is good to know.  Point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1)

anonymous · Answer

I should know standard form.  I use it all of the time in my math problems

heh true XD
