Question 1009495: Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that has slope -8 and passes through the point (-4, 9). Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using y = mx + b, we plug our info in and find b...
9 = -8(-4) + b
9 = 32 + b
b = -23
so that our equation is
y = -8x - 23
