Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one.
Read the slope
-1/4
Step two
Put the slope in the general equation
y = mx + b
y = -1/4 x + b
Step 3
Put the point into the equation from step 2
(-8,5)
5 = -1/4 -8 + b
5 = 2 + b Subtract 2 from both sides
5-2 = b
b = 3
Step 4
Write the entire equation
y = -1/4 x + 3
