Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (0,8) and (-1, –4).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

First, let's remember the equation for point-slope form and how to find the 'm' value:

$y-y1 = m (x-x1)\\m = rise/run\\m = \frac{-4-(8)}{-1-(0)} = 12$

Now plug your m value and (x1, y1) into point-slope form:

$y - 8 = 12(x-0)\\reduce\\y=12x+8$
