A line passes through the points (8, 8) and (4, 0). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

y=2(x)-8

Explanation: (8,8) 8-4 and 8-0
- (4,0)- 4 8
- you take the 8 as the numerator and 4 and the denominator and then divide 8 by 4 to=2 which is your slope
- you pick 1 set of points (I chose (8,8) to finish the problem)
8(y-intercept)= 2(slope) • 8(x-intercept) +b
8= 16+b
-16 -16 (subtract 16 from both sides)
-8 (8-16) =b {b=-8)
-now you put together your equation,
which leaves you with { y=2(x) - 8}
^ ^
your slope your B value
