Slope = 1; y-intercept = 8 Write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form

The equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept in slope-intercept form is y = x + 8

Given:

Equation of the line in the slope - intercept form is given by

where,

y and x = coordinates

m = slope = 1

c = y-intercept = 8

y = mx + c

y = (1 × x) + 8

y = x + 8

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = x + 8

Given parameters:

Slope  = 1

y- intercept  = 8

Unknown:

Equation of a line with the given slope  = ?

Solution:

A straight line is usually written in the form;

         y  = mx + c

where y and x are the coordinates

          m is the slope

          c is the y-intercept

To solve this problem, simply input the given parameters;

           y  = 1(x) + 8

           y = x + 8

The equation of the line is y = x + 8
