Question

Write an equation With the slope equal to -4/5 and (0,8)

Answer 1

Answer: y = (-4/5)x + 8

Solution

The equation of line is

y = mx + b

Where

y = y coordinate

m = slope

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept

In order to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)

substitute the slope (-4/5)  and coordinates given (0,8) ,

y = mx + b

8 = -4/5 (0) + b

8 = b

So,

y = (-4/5)x + 8
