The slope = 4.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So we can start to define the equation in slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "m = 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then use the known point (-3,-8) to find 'b'.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = 4*(-3) + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "-8 = -12 + b
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "b = 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x + 4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept = (0,4)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept = (-1,0)
\n" ); document.write( ".
