Question

Write the point slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8,2) and (1,-4)

Answer 1

Answer:

y-2 = -2/3 (x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (-4-2)/(1--8)

  = (-6)/(1+8)

    =-6/9

=-2/3

point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = -2/3(x--8)

y-2 = -2/3 (x+8)

Answer 2

Answer:

y-2 = -2/3 (x+8)
