What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (1 7 and has a slope of 2)

In order to answer this question, we must use Slope-Intercept Form and fill in the missing variables. Slope-intercept form is as follows:

y = mx + b, where m = the slope of the line and b = the y-intercept of the line.

In this case, the slope is given (slope = -8), so we know that m = -8 in this case. Now, we can use the definition of a slope to find out what the y-intercept is. The definition of a slope is as follows:

y2 - y1

---------------- = slope

x2 - x1

What this means is that we must find 2 different points on the line, find the difference between their y-values (or change in y), then divide that number by the difference in their x-values (or change in x).

The problem gives us one coordinate (1,7), and we must find the other one using the definition of a y-intercept. The y-intercept is any point in a line where the x-value = 0. So, given this information, we can create the point (0, b) where b = the y-intercept, and plug those values into the definition of a slope to find the value of b:

7 - b 7 - b

--------- = -8, ------- = -8, 7 - b = -8, -b = -15, b = 15

1 - 0. 1

Therefore, m = -8 and b = 15.

We can plug this into the slope-intercept form and get our final answer:

y = -8x + 15
