Answer:

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

Explanation:

The slope is the change in y over the change in x.


(0-8)/(1 - -2) =
(-8)/(1+2) =
(-8)/(3)

The slope (m) is
(-8)/(3)

Use the slope and one of the points to find the y intercept

I will use the point (1,0)

x = 1

y = 0

m =
(-8)/(3)

y = mx + b Substitute in what you know and solve for b

0 =
(-8)/(3)(1) + b

0 =
(-8)/(3) + b Add
(8)/(3) to both sides


(8)/(3) = b

The y-intercept (b) is
(8)/(3)

y = mx + b

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