Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (5,-8)

and (-5,4)? Put your answer in fully reduced form.

Answer 1

y =
`-(6)/(5)`x - 2

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Points: (5, -8), (-5, 4)

Slope:
`-(6)/(5)`

y =
`-(6)/(5)`x + b

-8 =
`-(6)/(5)` ( 5 ) + b

b = -2

y =
`-(6)/(5)`x - 2
