Question

A line passes through the point (8, -1) and has a slope of -5/4

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5/4x +27/4

Step-by-step explanation:

"A line passes through the point (8, -1) and has a slope of -5/4 "

I'm guessing you want to formulate an equation.

To do that, we use the Slope-Intercept Form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y- intercept.

Since we know the slope, we can substitute -5/4 for slope.

y = -5/4x + b

To Find B, we will substitute the ordered pair (8,-1) as x and y.

8= -5/4(-1) + b

8 = 5/4 + b

Subtract 5/4 from both sides.

8-5/4 = 5/4-5/4 + b

27/4 = b

Substitute  27/4 as b in the equations.

y = -5/4x + 27/4
