Answer:
y= -3/4x-5
Explanation:
To find the answer, use the point-slope form equation.
y-y^1= m(x-x^1)
Now substitute the variables.
y-1= -3/4(x--8)
A negative and a negative equal a positive, so that turns into a plus sign.
y-1= -3/4(x+8)
Now distribute into the parenthesis.
y-1=-3/4x+(-6) *The plus sign turns into a minus sign
y-1= -3/4x-6
Now add 1 to both sides to isolate the y-variable.
y-1= -3/4-6
+1 +1
This turns into...
y= -3/4x-5
