What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line with a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of –8

answer

I used the formula

m: 5

(x1, y1)

point: (0, -8)

y + 8 = 5x

-8 -8

y = 5x - 8

constant acceleration- a

constant velocity- c

no velocity or acceleration- b

explanation:

for body moving with a constant acceleration, the rate of change of displacement changes over time. this is proven by the increasing gradient of the curve (a) against time.

a body that is moving at constant velocity covers equal distances over equal periods of time, thus the straight line with a constant gradient c.

a stationary body   covers no displacement as time elapses. thus the flat line with   zero gradient.

i believe that the slope of the line is -5
