Write the slope-intercept (y = mx + b) form of the equation from the information given.
The line goes through the points (-1, -7) and (-8, -2)
Slope = y2 - y1 =-1 - (-2)
x2 - x1 -7 - (-8)
= 2/1

@AbdullahM this is all I could figure out

Question

Write the slope-intercept (y = mx + b) form of the equation from the information given.
The line goes through the points (-1, -7) and (-8, -2)
Slope = y2 - y1 =-1 - (-2)
            x2 - x1      -7 - (-8)
= 2/1

@abbycross167 y2 - y1 would be -7 - (-2) = -7 + 2 = -5

x2 - x1 = -1 - (-8) = -1 + 8 = 7

So the slope is -5/7
