Question

8

Write the equation of the line through the
points (-8, -2) and (-4,-3) in POINT-SLOPE
FORM

Answer 1

Y=-1/4x-4

Explanation:

To find the slope, you would need to use the equation y2-y1/x2-x1 by the coordinates. You would get -3-(-2)/-4-(-8). This would result in -1/4. Now that you have your slope, you plug in one of the coordinates. If you used (-8,-2), you would get -2=-8(-1/4)+b. Simplify the equation to get -2=2+b, which simplifies to -4=b, and b is the y intercept.
