y = - 4x + - 8 is equation of slope-intercept form.
What is in slope-intercept form?
Given the slope of the line and the intercept it forms with the y-axis, one of the mathematical forms used to derive the equation of a straight line is called the slope intercept form.
Y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the straight line and b is the y-intercept, is the slope intercept form.
the equation of slope - intercept form
y = mx + c
( -1 , -4 ) is point shown in graph
slope = -y/x
= - ( -4)/-1 = 4/-1 = -4
- 4 = -4 * - 1 + c
- 4 = 4 + c
c = - 4 - 4 = - 8
put value of c in the equation of slope - intercept form
