Question

5. The equations are written in point-slope form. Which equation represents a line through points (-8, 3) and (-2, -3)?
O y-3 =-1(x+8)
Oy - 3=3(x+8)
O y-3 =-3(x+8)
Oy-3 = 1(x+8)​

Answer 1

Answer:

y-3 =-1(x+8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is passing through two points is given by

(Y-y1)/(x-x1)= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

The points are (-8, 3) and (-2, -3)?

Y1= 3

Y2 = -3

X1= -8

X2 = -2

(Y-y1)/(x-x1)= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

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

(Y-3)/(x+8)= (-6)/(6)

(Y-3)/(x+8)= -1

Y-3= -1(x+8)
