Question

Write an equation of the line passing through each of the following pairs of points. c (4, 0), (−2, 8)

Answer 1

Moving from -2 to 4 is a gain of 6 in the x-direction and a drop of 8 in the y-direction.  Thus, the slope of this line is m = -8/6, or m = -4/3.

Then, using the point-slope formula, y - 0 = (-4/3)(x-4), or y = (-4/3)x + 16/3

Answer 2

y=-1 1/3x+5 1/3

I hope this helps
