Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, -2) and (8,0). In simplified point slope form

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope = 0-2/8-(-2)

-2/10

-1/5

Plug a point into the equation

y = (-1/5)x+b

2 = (-1/5)(-2)+b

b = 8/5

Point Slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2= -0.2(x+2)

or y=-1/5x+8/5
