Answer:
The slope (m) can be calculated as the change in (y) divided by the change in (x): [m = \frac{(-1 - (-6))}{(4 - 8)}]Calculate the slope (m) and then use one of the points (let's use ((8, -6))) to find the y-intercept (b): [-6 = m \cdot 8 + b]Once you find (m) and (b), you can write the equation of the line
