The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. If Shawn knows that the slope of the line is 4 and the line passes through the point (1,-8), which equation should he use to find the y-intercept and what is the y-intercept of the line?

Equation to be used: Point- Slope form

y-intercept = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

He should use point - slope form equation.

It is given that, line is passing through the points and has a slope m = 4.

The equation of line in point-slope form is given as:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
