Answer:

y = x - 3

Explanation:

Use the slope formula for to find the slope first:

= y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1

= -8 - 2 / -5 - 5

= -10 / -10

= 1

m = 1

Now, let's find the y-intercept of the slop line:

y = mx + b

2 = 1(5) + b

2 = 5 + b

-5 -5

----------------

-3 = b

So, the equation of the line passing the points ( 5, 2) and (-5, -8) is y = 1x - 3
