Answer:

y=-1/4x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is:

y=mx+b (slope-intercept form) where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. x and y are the x and y coordinates for a point on the line.

Now that we know the equation, we plug in the given numbers into the equation:

y=mx+b

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

-8=-2+b

b=-6

Now we know the y-intercept so the equation is:

y=-1/4x-6

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point that is co planar with one another and is also equidistant from a given point is a circle. We need it to be co planar, otherwise it would be 3-dimensional and create a sphere. And if they we not all equidistant, they would not make an even circle (it'd be an oval or another shape).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the y-intercept is -3 so from -3 the slop to the next point is 4/1.
