Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

A line passes through the point and has a Y-intercept of 8:
\$ (-3,9)\$

2

Hint

Consider

\$ x = -3 , y = 9 \$ & \$ b = 8 \$

3

Formula:

Using Slope-intercept form

\$ y = mx + b \$

4

Step

Substituting '\$ x , y , b\$' values

\$9 = m(-3) + 8 \$

5

Step

After substituting the values

\$ 9 = -3m + 8 \$

6

Step

Find the m value

\$ 3m = 8 - 9 \$

7

Step

Now finding the the m value

\$ 3m = -1 \$

8

Step

After finding the m value

\$ m = -1/3 \$

9

Step

Now Substitute m , b values in the Slope-intercept form we get

\$ y = (-1/3)x + 8 \$

10

Step

Taking LCm as 3

\$ y = (-x + (8\times3))/3 \$

11

Step

Simplifying the equation

\$ y = (-x + 24)/3 \$

12

Step

After simplification

\$ 3y = -x + 24 \$

13

Step

Converting to the equation form

\$ x + 3y = 24 \$

14

Step

After Converting to the equation form

\$ x + 3y - 24 = 0 \$

15

Answer

B
