Step-by-step explanation:
1.) Plug in one of the points.
y = 8x + b
6 = 8(4) + b
2.) Solve for b (or [?])
[tex]6 = 32 + b \\ - 32 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - 32[/tex]
32 cancels out on the right side.
Subtract 32 from 6, which is -26
3.) -26 = b
4.) Check with other point:
-2 = 8(3) + b
-2 = 24 + b
Cancel out 24 on the right side: 24-24 = 0
-2 - 24 = -26
-26 = b
