Which of the following represents an equation of a line with a slope of -1/4 and an x-intercept of 8?
:
Using the form y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y intercept
"an equation of a line with a slope of -1/4 and an x-intercept of 8?
The x intercept occurs when y = 0, therefore to find b:
*8 + b = 0
-2 + b = 0
b = 2
therefore our equation is
y = x + 2, which is probably the last one
