A y-intercept of $\"8\"$ means that
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=0\"$ and $\"y=8\"$ , so it is the point
\n" ); document.write( "(0,8)
\n" ); document.write( "Using point-slope formula:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28y+-+8%29+%2F+%28x+-+0%29+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+-+8+=+-3x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-3x+%2B+8+\"$ Here's the plot:
