Find the general form of the equation for the line with the given properties

Slope=-5/8 ; containing the point (0,4)
Answered by Reiny
Since you are given the slope and the y-intercept, the problem becomes a matter of just subbing in the values

y = (5/8)x + 4

My teachers answer was 5x+8y=32
Your answer is clearly wrong..

It's asking for general form, not slope-intercept
Answered by Steve
It is true that Reiny's answer has a typo.

Recognizing that, fix it and rearrange it into the desired form of the equation.
