Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form m=1/8 , b=0

$m = \frac{1}{8}$ , $b = 0$

Step 1

Find the value of $b$ using the formula for the equation of a line.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2

Replace the known value of $m$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (\frac{1}{8}) x + b$

Step 3

Replace the known value of $b$ in the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

$y = (\frac{1}{8}) x + 0$

Step 4

Simplify the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = (\frac{1}{8}) x + 0$

Multiply $\frac{1}{8}$ by $x$ .

$y = \frac{1}{8} x + 0$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (\frac{1}{8}) x + 0$

Simplify $(\frac{1}{8}) x + 0$ .

Add $(\frac{1}{8}) x$ and $0$ .

$y = (\frac{1}{8}) x$

Combine $\frac{1}{8}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{8}$

Rewrite the equation in $y = m x + b$ form.

$y = \frac{1}{8} x$
