Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
y - 8 = -\frac{7}{4}(x + 8)
Write your answer using integers and fractions in simplest form.

Answer

To convert the equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), follow these steps:

Distribute the -\frac{7}{4} on the right side: y - 8 = -\frac{7}{4}x - \frac{7}{4} * 8
Calculate -\frac{7}{4} * 8: y - 8 = -\frac{7}{4}x - 14
Add 8 to both sides to solve for y: y = -\frac{7}{4}x - 14 + 8
Simplify: y = -\frac{7}{4}x - 6

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y = -\frac{7}{4}x - 6
