Find the equation of the line with slope 8 that contains the point (1, 16).
A) y = 8x + 8
B) y = 8x - 8
C) y = x + 8
D) y = -8x + 8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Given the slope is 8 and the line passes through (1, 16), substitute into the equation: 16 = 8(1) + b, solving gives b = 8. Thus, the equation is y = 8x + 8.
