question 363

Multiple Choice

Use the slope-intercept form of the linear equation to write the equation of the line with the given slope and y-intercept.
-Slope $- \frac { 9 } { 8 } ; y$ -intercept $\left( 0 , \frac { 43 } { 8 } \right)$

• A) \(y = - \frac { 9 } { 8 } x - \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• B) \(y = - \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• C) \(y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x - \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
• D) \(y = \frac { 9 } { 8 } x + \frac { 43 } { 8 }\)
