Answer:
Equation of line that passes through the points is; y= -13x - 31
Explanation:
Given coordinates;
(- 2, - 5) and (3. - 8)
Find:
Equation of the line
Computation:
Equation of line that passes through the points is;
y = mx + c
So,
in (- 2, - 5)
-5 = m(-2) + c
-5 = -2m + c ...................Eq1
in (3, - 8)
- 8 = m(3) + c
-8 = 3m + c .....................Eq2
From eq2 + eq1
m = -13
-5 = -2m + c
-5 = -2(-13) + c
-5 = 26 + c
c = -31
So,
y = mx + c
y = (-13)x + (-31)
Equation of line that passes through the points is; y= -13x - 31
