Question

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that passes through the points

(-8,48) and (-1,13)

Answer 1

y = - 5x + 8

Explanation:

(-8,48) and (-1,13)

m = (48-13)/(-8/- - 1) = 35/- 7

m = -5

y - 13 = - 5(x - - 1)

y - 13 = - 5(x+1)

y - 13 = -5x - 5

y = - 5x - 5 + 13

y = - 5x + 8
