Question

Consider the graph below.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. y = x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️First, find the slope of the line using two points on the line, say (0, -8) and (8, 0):

$slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - (-8)}{8 - 0} = \frac{8}{8} = 1$

slope (m) = 1

✔️Find the y-intercept (b):

The y-intercept is -8. The line intercepts the y-axis at y = -8.

b = -8

✔️Next, substitute m = 1, and b = -8 into y = mx + b:

Thus:

y = (1)x + (-8)

y = x - 8
