Answer: The equation of the line in slope-intercept form will be
y = (7/4)x + b
Since the line passes through the point (8,-2), plug in the values of the point into the equation to find b.
-2 = (7/4)(8) + b
-2 = 14 + b
-16 = b
The equation of the line is
y = (7/4)x - 16
In standard form,
-(7/4)x + y = -16
Multiply both sides of equation by -4.
7x - 4y = -64
Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps :)
