Hi! i need help please, thanks! (#4) (EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT)

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

graph:

point 1 (-8, 3) x1 = -8 y1 = 3

point 2 (0, -5) x2 = 0 y2 = -5

Step 02:

equation of the line:

slope:

`\text{slope = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-5-3)/(0-(-8))=(-8)/(8)=-1`

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

(y - 3) = -1 (x - (-8))

y - 3 = -x - 8

y = -x - 8 + 3

y = -x - 5

The answer is:

y = -x - 5
