Question

A line passes through the point (-8, 6) and has a slope of -5/4.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -5/4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 6 for y and -8 for x. Then solve for b or "y-intercept". You should get -4

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=-\frac{5}{4} x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. write the equation in point slope form $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$

y-6=-5/4(x+8)

2. solve the distributive property

y-6=-5/4x-10

3. add 6 to both sides

y=-5/4x-4
