Question

write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept
slope = 5
y-intercept = 8
a $y = 5x + 8$
b $x = 5y + 8$
c $y = 8x + 5$
d $x = 8y + 5$
e $y = 5x - 8$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope-intercept form

The slope-intercept form of a line is $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

Step2: Substitute given values

Substitute $m=5$ (slope) and $b=8$ (y-intercept) into the formula:
$y = 5x + 8$

Answer:

A. $y = 5x + 8$
