Question

The slope of a line is 58, and the line passes through the point (−8,−4).

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation for this line?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=58x+460

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

We are given m=58 so we have

y=58x+b

We are given (-8,-4) is a point on the line.

-4=58(-8)+b

-4=-464+b

460=b

So the line in slope intercept form is y=58x+460

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 58x + 460

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = 58x + b

(-4) = 58(-8) + b

-4 = -464 + b

460 = b

y = 58x + 460
