The equation of the line that passes through the points is y = -x - 8
<h3>What is an equation of the line that passes through the points?</h3>
The points are given as:
(−1,−7) and (−8,0)
Calculate the slope (m) using
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
So, we have
m = (0 + 7)/(-8 + 1)
This gives
m = -1
The equation of the line that passes through the points is then calculated as
y = m(x - x1) + y1
So, we have
y = -1(x + 8) + 0
This gives
y = -x - 8
Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points is y = -x - 8
