Given:

The line that passes through the points (8,-1) and (5,-1)

To find:

Find the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know, the equation of the line passes through the two points,

y−y1 =y2 −y1 x2 −x1 (x−x1 ) Here,(x1 ,y1 )=(8,−1) and (x2 ,y2 )=(5,−1) y−(−1)=−1−(−1) 5−8 (x−8) y+1=0 −3 (x−8) y+1=0 y=−1 ​
