Which of the following represents an equation of a line with a slope of -1/4 and an x-intercept of 8? 
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Using the form y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "\"an equation of a line with a slope of -1/4 and an x-intercept of 8? 
\n" ); document.write( "The x intercept occurs when y = 0, therefore to find b:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1%2F4\"$ *8 + b = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-2 + b = 0
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "therefore our equation is
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"-1%2F4\"$ x + 2, which is probably the last one \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
