Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you solve a word problem, our first step is to read and gather the information we find.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

After reading the question, I am going to highlight or bold the contexts that are important to our problem-solving.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

First, let's understand that slope-intercept equation is in the form of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

After reading the context, what do we know?

We finally have the information — our first step is to write our slope-intercept equation.

We know that m is slope which is 1/4 — substitute in the equation.

We have used the two information which are a slope of 1/4 and slope-intercept equation.

That only leaves to one information which is a line that passes through (-8,-1).

Since the graph has to pass through the point, we substitute x = -8 and y = -1.

After using all information, it seems that we are solving for b-term or y-intercept.

From above — cross-division.

Add both sides by 2 to isolate b-term.

Therefore, the value of b is 1. From the equation:

Substitute b = 1 in the equation.

And we're done!

false

step-by-step explanation:

the reason i say this is because for a certain length of sides you can pick any two and the length is wither equal or greater than the third side and in this case it's not.

3 + 5 = 8

8 is smaller than 9 which is the third side.

hope this : )
