Answer:

y = 6x - 10

Explanation:

*I'm assuming your problem wants us to find the equation in slope-intercept form (If not, lmk!!).*


(3,8)(-2,-22)

Find the equation Using Two Points!

Step 1. Find the slope

m = slope


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


m=(-22-8)/(-2-3)


m=(-30)/(-5)


m=6

The slope is 6

Step 2. Find the y-intercept


y=6x+b

(Use any point to plug in the coordinates into the formula)


(8)=6(3)+b


8=18+b


b=8-18


b=-10

The y-intercept is -10

Thus, the equation of the Two Points is y = 6x - 10
