Find the Equation Using Slope-Intercept Form m=5 , b=8

$m = 5$ , $b = 8$

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.

$y = (5) \cdot x + b$

Step 3

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

$y = (5) \cdot x + 8$

Step 4

Simplify the slope y-intercept form of the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = (5) \cdot x + 8$

Multiply $5$ by $x$ .

$y = 5 \cdot x + 8$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (5) \cdot x + 8$

Multiply $5$ by $x$ .

$y = 5 x + 8$
