Question

I NEED YOUR HELLPPP!!

Answer 1

`y = -(1)/(2)x - 8`

Explanation:

1. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where y = y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept.

2. To find the slope, let's take the two points (-10,-3) and (-8,-4) to then plug their values into this formula:
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

• 
  `(-4-(-3))/(-8-(-10))`
• 
  `-(1)/(2)`

3. Great, now that we have our slope, the equation looks like this so far:
`y = -(1)/(2) x + b`.

4. Since b is the y-intercept, b = -8 because the line intersects the y-axis at the coordinate, (0,-8).

5. When plugging in the values of m and b, we get the equation of
`y = -(1)/(2) x - 8`
