Answer 1

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{8} x - 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for straight lines:

$y = mx + b$

where m = slope, b = constant

Given:

y-intercept = -3 (0, -3)

m = ⅛

Substitute into formula to find b.

$- 3 = \frac{1}{8} (0) + b \\ - 3 = 0 + b \\ b = - 3$

Substitute b into original formula

$y = mx + b \\ y = \frac{1}{8} x + ( - 3) \\ y = \frac{1}{8} x - 3$
