Question

rewrite the following equation in slope - intercept form.
$y - 10=\frac{1}{8}(x - 8)$
write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the $\frac{1}{8}$

$y - 10 = \frac{1}{8}x - \frac{1}{8} \times 8$
$y - 10 = \frac{1}{8}x - 1$

Step2: Isolate $y$ by adding 10

$y = \frac{1}{8}x - 1 + 10$
$y = \frac{1}{8}x + 9$

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{8}x + 9$
