Answer:
Slope = 3
y intercept = -8
y = 3x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
From the table shown, we can make use of the coordinate points
(0, -8) and (1, -5)
Slope m = y2-y1/x2-x1
m = -5-(-8)/1-0
m = -5+8/1-0
m = 3/1
m = 3
Slope = 3
The standard form of an equation is y = mx+b
b is the y intercept
Substitute m = 3 and (0, -8) into y = mx+b
-8 = 3(0) + b
-8 = b
b = -8
Hence y intercept is -8
Get the required equation
Recall that y = mx+b
y = 3x + (-8)
y = 3x - 8
This gives the required equation
