Question 379389: how do you put the two ponits (5,-5) (0,8) into slope intersept form
Answer by sophxmai(62) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The points that are given to you are (5,-5) and (0,8).
The equation is y=mx+b.
What you need to find is the slope, m and the y-intercept, b.

To find the slope, m, you use the formula:

So,

Now from y=mx+b, we have
To find the y-intercept, we can substitute one of the points in for x and y, and solve for b.

(0,8)

Now from y=mx+b, we have
