Answer: [tex]y= x-8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
- Slope intercept form has a general formula of [tex]y=mx +b[/tex]
- m represents the slope of the line
- b represents the value of the lines y-intercept
- the equation must be rearranged into the general formula by isolating for 'y'
[tex]y-x=-8[/tex]
- to remove the x from the left side of the equation the opposite operation must be done to both sides
[tex]y-x+x=-8+x[/tex]
- the negative and positive x cancel out on the left side, leaving us with the equation with y by itself
- now you can rearrange to put the equation into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
Final Answer: [tex]y=x-8[/tex]
