x +

Answer 1

@Mehek14

Answer 2

hey

Answer 3

@Photon336

Answer 4

so yeah we know that y = m(x)+b

Answer 5

@Photon336 i need help on a question i tagged u on plezzz after u finish this one

Answer 6

slope = -2 = m

y = -2x+b

but we need to find b

we can do this by putting the point (8,12) into the equation.

-2(8)+b = 12 to find b

12 = -16+b

Answer 7

@Photon336

Answer 8

@RawFeeds- solve for b and show me what you get

Answer 9

i need help

Answer 10

12 = -16+b do you know how to solve for b?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

all you do is add 16 to both sides

12+16 = b

b = 28

so it becomes this:

y = -2x+28

Answer 13

so thats the answer

Answer 14

that's what they mean by slope intercept form

Answer 15

ok @Photon336

Answer 16

ok im stuck

Answer 17

so we have y = -2x+28 so we are done

Answer 18

ok
