Line J has a y-intercept of 8 and passes through point (a,b). What is the slope of Line J in terms of a and b?  Choices
A) (a−6)/b
B) (b-8)/a
C) (6−a)/b
D) (6−b)/a
E) (b−6)/a
You know that the line goes through point (a,b) and the y-intercept of 8 tells you that the line also goes through point (0,8).   slope m = (y-y1)/(x-x1) = (b-8)/(a-0)= (b-8)/a   (b-8)/a
