Find the equation of the line whose x-intercept is 8 and y-intercept is -2. write the equation in slope-intercept form.

Find the slope, m = (change in y) / (change in x)

                     0-(-2)
Here, m = = 1/4
                     8 - 0
y-k = m(x-h) becomes         y+2 = (1/4)(x), or y = (1/4)x - 2

Then the desired equation is   y = (1/4)x - 2 (slope-intercept form)
