Question 26: write the equation that describes the line with slope=5 and y-intercept =8 in slope intercept form. example: y=mx+b

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with y = mx + b:  general slope-intercept form, equation of a line:

Replace m with 5, y with 8 and x with 0 (since the y-intercept is (0, 8):

8 = 5(0) + b.  Then b must be 8, and the desired equation is

y = 5x + 8

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.
