Find a linear function whose graph has the given slope and y-intercept.
-Slope $- \frac { 6 } { 5 } , y - i n t e r c e p t ( 0,8 )$
A) $f ( x ) = \frac { 6 } { 5 } x - 8$
B) $f ( x ) = - \frac { 6 } { 5 } x + 8$
C) $f ( x ) = - \frac { 6 } { 5 } x - 8$
D) $f ( x ) = \frac { 6 } { 5 } x + 8$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The linear function formula is $f(x) = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Given slope $m = -\frac{6}{5}$ and y-intercept $b = 8$, the correct function is $f(x) = -\frac{6}{5}x + 8$.
