Answer:

y=-2x-13

Explanation:

I am not sure if these what they want.

y-b=m(x-a)

y-3=-2(x--8)

y-3=-2x-16

add 3 to each side

y=-2x-13

you have to use point slope form

point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

x1 and y1 are the x and y values of the given point

m is the slope

so, just plug in the numbers:

y-3 = -2(x + 8)

now solve to put into slope intercept form (y = mx + b)

y-3 = -2x - 16

ANSWER: y = -2x -13
