Sagot :

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

In this case we notice that the y-intercept is 2, this means that b=2.

To find the slope we need to use the formula:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

using the points (0,2) and (8,0). We have that the slope is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{0-2}{8-0} \\ =-\frac{2}{8} \\ =-\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we plug the values for the slope and the intercept in the equation, therefore the equation we are looking for is:

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2[/tex]
