<PRE><B>Question 56667</B>
Hi Ashley,

  Write the equation of the line with given slope and y-intercept.  Then graph each line using the slope and y-intercept.

    Slope:  - 3/4; y-intercept: (0, 8)

 The slope intercept form of a line is {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}} where m=slope and (0,b)= y-intercept.
Your slope is: m=-3/4 and (0,b)=(0,8)
{{{highlight(y=(-3/4)x+8)}}}
Plot (0,8), from there use the slope={{{m=rise/run=-3/4}}}.  Let your rise keep the sign and always run to the right. Go down 3 and right 4 and plot another point at what should be (4,5).  Connect the dots and you have a line:
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,(-3/4)x+8)}}}
Happy Calculating, Ashley!!!</PRE>
