The equation of the line can be found using the point-slope form of the line equation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope.
Plugging in the values:
y - (-8) = (3/2)(x - 0)
Simplifying:
y + 8 = (3/2)x
The equation of the line is given by:
y = (3/2)x - 8
A line that contains the point (0, -8) with a slope of 3/2
