Answer 1

Answer: We need to find the equation of the line, in slope y-inercept form. we are provided with the following.

`\begin{gathered} P(-8,-4) \\ m=(5)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The equation in y-intercept form is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} y(x)=(5)/(2)x+b \\ \rightarrow p(-8,-4)\rightarrow\therefore\rightarrow \\ -4=(5)/(2)(-8)+b\rightarrow b=-4+(40)/(2)=(-8+40)/(2)=(32)/(8)=4 \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ y(x)=(5)/(2)x+4 \end{gathered}`
