SOLUTION: what is the y intercept of the line whose slope is 4 and which passes through the point (8,15) ?

Question 665111: what is the y intercept of the line whose slope is 4 and which passes through the point (8,15) ?
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the coordinate points and the slope to solve fo r b, the y-intercept.
...
Knowing y = mx+b is the linear equation format and using (8,15)
Solve for b
15 = 4(8) + b
15 = 32 + b
b = 15 - 32
b = -17
...
The linear equation would be:
y = 4x - 17
