Question

2. Write an equation in slope intercept form with the given Information Goes through points (1, 8) and (5, 0)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -2x + 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: $m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Slope-Intercept Form: $y=mx+b$

$m=\frac{8-0}{1-5}$

$m = -2$

$y = -2x + b$

$0 = -2 (5)+b$

$0=(-10)+b$

$b = 10$

$y = -2x + 10$
