Question

What is the slope intercept form of the equation for the line provided?

Answer 1

Answer : B

slope = 5/8

given point is (-8,-4)

Use point slope formula

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

m = 5/8  , x1 = -8  and y1 =-4

Plug in all the values in the formula

$y - (-4) =\frac{5}{8}(x - (-8))$

$y+4 =\frac{5}{8}x + 5$

Subtract 4 on boths ides

$y=\frac{5}{8}x + 1$

So answer is option B
