Question

Write an equation in slope for a line that passes through (3,4) (and has a y intercept of -8)

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) The equation in slope intercept form is $y=4x-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Write an equation in slope-intercept form for a line that passes through (3,4) (and has a y intercept of -8)

we know that

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

$b=-8$

$point\ (3,4)$

substitute

$4=m(3)-8$

solve for m

$4+8=3m$

$3m=12$

$m=4$

therefore

$y=4x-8$
