[tex]\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Question:-}}}}[/tex]
What is the equation of the line in slope intercept form if its slope is 8 and its y-intercept is -3?
[tex]\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}[/tex]
y=8x-3
[tex]\blue{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{How to solve:-}}}}[/tex]
Slope Intercept form, as the name implies, has slope & intercept in its equation.
It looks like y=mx+b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
To determine the equation of the line, we need to write the value of m, which in this case is 8, in lieu of m:-
y=8x+b
Same with the y-intercept:-
[tex]\tt{y=8x+(-3)}[/tex]
Which simplifies to
[tex]\tt{y=8x-3}[/tex]
Good luck.
