Question

write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify slope formula

Slope $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Step2: Pick two points, e.g., $(0, -8)$ and $(4, 0)$

$m = \frac{0 - (-8)}{4 - 0} = \frac{8}{4} = 2$

Step3: Find y-intercept $b$

From point $(0, -8)$, $b = -8$

Step4: Write slope-intercept form

$y = mx + b$

Answer:

$y = 2x - 8$
