Because the points are on the same line, the slope that is found using these points is the same m1=m2 (y-y1)/(x-x1)=(y-y2)(x-x2) (y-11)/(x+8)=(y-7/2)/(x-4) (y-11)(x-4)=(y-7/2)(x+8) yx-4y-11x+44 = yx +8y-(7/2) x-28 -4y-11x+44=8y-(7/2) x-28 8y+4y=-11x+(7/2)x+72 12y=-(22/2)x+(7/2)x+72 12y=-(15/2)x+72 y=-(15/(2*12))x+72/12 y=(-5/8)x+6 correct answer
