Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
y, minus, x, equals, minus, 8
y−x=
−8
To put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Given equation: y - x = -8
To isolate y, we can add x to both sides of the equation:
y - x + x = -8 + x
y = x - 8
Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is y = x - 8.
