Answer:

Explanation:

the equation in the point slope form is

and reducing the equation (slope-intercept form)

Explanation:

first we calculate the slope of the line with the formula:

where is a point where the line passes, and is another point where the line passes.

Since we have the following points:

(8, -2)

(5,5)

we conclude that

now we substitute this values to find the slope:

to find the equation now that we know the slope we use the point-slope equation:

and we subtitute the slope and the values of and :

we reduce this equation:

the equation in the point slope form is

and reducing the equation (slope-intercept form)
