$$y+11=-\frac79(x-8) $$^^^ what is the slope of the line?

anonymous · Answer

The first linear equation is: y=-7/9x +3
the second one is:y+11 = -7/9(x-8) or
y=-11-7/9(x-8)
or y=-7/8x - 51/11
Therefore, they have the same slope but different y-intercept

anonymous · Answer

Sorry! I meant: y=-7/9x - 51/11 instead of : y=-7/8x -51/11
