Question

Write the equation for the give points on a graph
y8, x -5, y-8

Answer 1

does y8 mean that the y intercept is 8?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

In that case, use the for y = mx+b (where m is the slope and b is the y int)

so, we have:
y = mx + 8
to get m, sub in the point (-5,-8)
-8 =m(-5) +8
-16 = -5m
m = 16/5

which now gives us:
y = (16/5)x +8
