(-5.--3) and (1. -8)
(a) The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is
(Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation)

Answer 1

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form and standard form that passes through the line are  y = -5 / 6x - 43 / 6 and  5x + 6y = -43 respectively.

Slope intercept equation

The Slope intercept equation is use to represent a linear table or graph. Therefore, the formula is represented as follows

y = mx + b

where

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Hence,

(-5, -3)(1, -8)

m = -8 + 3 / 1 + 5 = - 5 / 6

Using (1, -8) let's find b

-8 = -5 / 6 (1) + b

-8 + 5 / 6 = b

-48 + 5/6 = b

b = -43 / 6

Therefore, the slope intercept equation is y = -5 / 6x - 43 / 6

The equation in standard form is represented as Ax + By = C. Therefore,

y + 5 / 6 x = - 43/6

5x + 6y = -43
