Question

Write an equation of the line the passes through (-5,8) and (-3,-8)

Answer 1

One second. :)

Answer 2

\[m=\frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 3

Standard form:
8x + y = -32

Slope intercept form:
y = -8x - 32

Answer 4

Start with putting your coordinates in that to find your slope. Let (-5,8) be the 1's and (-3,-8) be the 2's. :-)

Answer 5

Then write y=mx+b , input one of the two coordinates for x & y, and solve for b
