Question

how do I write an equation in standard form for "passes through (2,5) and (8,-3)

Answer 1

ok so, the equation for a line is y= mx + b

Answer 2

and first to do this you need to find slope, you know how to do that?

Answer 3

I need the answer dang it

Answer 4

ok, so the slope is 2/6, you put that into the equation with either of the points, so \[5=-8/3\times2 + b\] then you solve for b. so -8/3 times 2 is -16/3.
5+(-16/3) is 10.33. so the answer is
\[y=-8/3x + 10.3333\]
