Question

How do you write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 5 and y-intercept-8?

Answer 1

`y = 5x-8` is the equation of the line.

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is `y = mx+c` where the slope is `m` and the `y`-intercept is `c`

With `m=5 and c=-8` we have:

`y = 5x-8` as the equation of the line.

No further work is necessary.

Answer 2

`y=5x-8`

Explanation:

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

`•color(white)(x)y=mx+b`

`"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"`

`"here "m=5" and "b=-8`
