Question 674860
x-intercept = -8 y-intercept = 5

{{{y=m x + b}}} is the form where {{{m}}} is the slope, and {{{b}}} is the {{{y}}} intercept

to get from the {{{y-intercept}}} {{{5}}} to the {{{x-intercept}}} {{{-8}}}, you have a rise of {{{5}}} and a run of {{{-8}}}

{{{m=(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}}

{{{m=(5-0)/(0-(-8))}}}

{{{m=5/8}}}

therefore


{{{y = (5/8)x +5}}}


 {{{ graph( 600, 600, -10, 10, -10, 10,(5/8)x +5) }}}
