Question

Write a linear equation for the line with slope = -8/10 going through the point: (0, 4)


Write your equation in the form y= _____________

Use x as the independent variable.

Answer 1

y = mx + b this is slope intercept form
where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept
so replace m by -8/10
and use that one order pair where first value is x and 2nd one is y (x,y)replace x and y by their values then solve for b
