Answer 1

y= 8/3 x -11

Explanation:

I did this on Khan Academy and because the other answer on this page helped.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is: y = -8/3 x - 11

Explanation:

A (-6, 5)

B (-3, -3)

Process

1.- Find the slope of the line

Formula

`m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Substitution

`m = (-3 - 5)/(-3 + 6)`

Simplifying

`m = (- 8 )/(3)`

2.- Find the equation of the line

Formula

( y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Substitution

( y + 3) = -8/3 (x + 3)

Simplifying

y + 3 = -8/3 x - 8

y = -8/3 x - 8 - 3

y = -8/3 x - 11
