Question 230763: hello please help I am so lost and so confused!!
Find an equation of the line having the given slope and containing the given point. Express your answer in the form x=a, y=b, or y=mx + b
m= -2, (8,0) the equation of the line is y= ?

m= -2, (8,0)
Y=mX+b
0=-2*8+b
0=-16+b
b=16
y=-2x+16 ans. for the line equation.
