Question

Complete the equation of the line through (−10,3) (−8,−8). Use exact numbers. y=

Answer 1

-11/2x-52

Explanation:

i know it is correct

Answer 2

y = -11/2x - 52

Explanation:

Now follow the equation for slope: m = change in y / change in x.

`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

`(-8-3)/(-8--10)`

`(-11)/(2)`

The slope is -11/2. m=-11/2

Use slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Plug in a point and the slope:

-8 = (-11/2)(-8) + b

-8 = 44 + b

b = -52

y = -11/2x - 52
