Find an equation of the line that (a) has y-intercept of -8 and (b) is parallel to the line 6 x − 1 y = 7 6x-1y=7 . Write your answer in the form y = m x + b y=mx+b .

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is

As y intercept is -8, we have

Since the line is parallel to , then it has the same slope.

Let's put this equation in  form and find the slope

Thus, the slope is :

Now we can finish the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form

          ∵ , b = -8

Therefore, the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is:

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a

the answer to question 1 is -8, 28.
