Question

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation if the slope (`m`) is `-2`, and the the y-intercept (`b`) is `8`?

Answer 1

`y=-2x+8`

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

`y=mx+b`,

where:

`m="slope",` and `b="y-intercept"`

Given:

`m=-2`

`b=8`

Answer:

`y=-2x+8`
