Question 387001: Find the Linear equation that contains all the given ordered pairs. (0,8) (3,5) (4,4) Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, ewatrrr:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
Hi,
the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
In this case b = 8 and
the slope is -3/2 = -1 using (5-8)/(3-0)
Slope can also be determined by graphing.
Note:line slants to left, slope is negative
And as y changes by one, so does x
y = -x + 8
