Find an equation of the line that passes through (6, -3) and has y-intercept 8.
I know y = mx + b is the slope-intercept formula. In the formula, b represents the y-intercept. I also see that 8 is given to be b in this case.
The y-intercept can be written as (0, 8).
Do I now find the slope m?
Afterward, use one of the points and m to plug into the point-slope formula. Finally, I must isolate y.
Is this right?
