5
4
Write an equation in slope-intercept form for this line.

Answer 1

y = -5/4x -19

Explanation:

It is often convenient to simplify a point-slope form of the equation.

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through (h, k)

y = -5/4(x -(-8)) -9 . . . . fill in given values

y = -5/4x -10 -9

y = -5/4x -19
