Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points.

(-5,-2) , (3,-1) is 2/8?

(-5.8) , (-3,-8) is 0/2?

Answer 1

we need to find the slope

Answer 2

by doing so we must use point slope formula

Answer 3

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 4

after we obtain the slope use point slope formula again to get equation y=mx+b

Answer 5

I would show you how to use the point sloope formula but latex isn't working at the moment

Answer 6

I used the y2 method and got 2/8 for the first one and 0/2 for the second.

Answer 7

you should get -8 for the bottom one not 0/2

Answer 8

and for the other one should have gotten 1/8
