Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
The answer is 24. You subtract 40 - 16.
Wow, what a coincidence, I just learned this at school today!
1. Slope
M= yb-ya/xb-xa
M= 8-4/8-6
M= 4/2
M= 2
2. Y-intercept
Y= mx + b
4 = (2)(6) + b
4 = 12 + b
4 = 12 + b
-12 = - 12 + b
-8 = b
Therefore, the equation is Y = 2x - 8
