Look at the graph shown:

lidiya [134]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the coordinate plane is not given, we don't need it to find the solution. We have given all the conditions enough for the solution.

The y-intercept is (-1) and the function passes through the point ( 1, 2 ).

Only the function y = 3x -1 matches these conditions.

We can observe the points in the attached graph.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope 8 and y-intercept -8.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

y = 8x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b is slope-intercept form

m - slope

b - y-intercept

so if you plug in 8 for m and -8 for b you'll get

y = 8(m)x - 8(b)
