Answer:

The equation in the slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-4.-8)
  • (-8, -9)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-4,\:-8\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(-8,\:-9\right)

m=\frac{-9-\left(-8\right)}{-8-\left(-4\right)}

m=\frac{1}{4}

We know that the slope-intercept of line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

substituting m = 1/4 and the point (-4, -8) to find the y-intercept 'b'

y = mx+b

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

-8 = -1 + b

b = -8+1

b = -7

so the y-intercept = b = -7

substituting m = 1/4 and b = -7 in the slope-intercept form of line equation

y = mx+b

y  = 1/4x + (-7)

y  = 1/4x - 7

Thus, the the equation in slope-intercept form will be:

y  = 1/4x - 7

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Example of Associative Property Addition:

a + (b+c) = b + (a+c)

Now, implement it to the given expression:

(2x+8) + 4 = 2x + (8+4)

That simplifies to:

2x + 12
