Write an equation With the slope equal to - 4/5 and (0,8)

Answer: y = (-4/5) x + 8

Solution

The equation of line is

y = mx + b

Where

y = y coordinate

m = slope

x = x coordinate

b = y intercept

In order to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)

substitute the slope (-4/5) and coordinates given (0,8),

y = mx + b

8 = - 4/5 (0) + b

8 = b

So,

y = (-4/5) x + 8
