The slope-intercept form:
m - slope
b - y-intercept
The formula of a slope:
substitute the coordinates of the points (8, 0) and (20, 12) to the formula:
y = 1x + b = x + b
Put the coordinates of the point (8, 0) to the equation of a line:
0 = 8 + b <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>
-8 = b
<h3>Answer: y = x - 8</h3>
