Question

Can someone hlep plsssss

Answer 1

y + 1 = 5/3(x + 8)

or

y - 9 = 5/3(x + 2)

*both work

Explanation:

First, we can start by finding the slope of the line, which can be represented as:

`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

We can substitute in the points (-8, -1) and (-2, 9):

`(9-(-1))/(-2-(-8))`

And we can simplify

`(9+1)/(-2+8)`

`(10)/(6)=(5)/(3)`

The point-slope equation of a line can be written as:

`y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )`

We can either use the point (-8, -1) or (-2, 9). It doesn't matter which one we use.

For the point (-8, -1), you get:

y + 1 = 5/3(x + 8)

For the point (-2, 9) you get:

y - 9 = 5/3(x + 2)
