A line passes through the point (8, -8) and has a slope of -5/2 Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

y=-5/2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope is -5/2 and the line passes through (8,-8). We can use the slope in the equation y=-5/2x+b and the given point to find for b. Plug in (8,-8) as x and y values to get -8=-5/2(8)+b. Multiply to get -8=-20+b, then add 20 to both sides to get 12=b. You can then use b to complete your equation, y=-5/2x+12.

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
