Question

How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line with a y-intercept of 8 and a slope of -1/4?

Answer 1

`y=-1/4x+8`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in`color(blue)" slope-intercept form"" is"`

`color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|)))`
where m is slope and b, the y-intercept

Here b = 8 and slope`=-1/4`

Substituting these values into the equation gives us:

`y=-1/4x+8`
