Point-slope:

y-y1= m(x-x1)

Plug in what you know.

y1= 1 and x1= -8

y-1= 2/5(x-(-8)
y-1= 2/5(x+8)

Distribute.

y-1=.4x+ 3.2 <- that is the final answer

I hope this helps!

Teh slope between two points is calculated by finding the change in y-values and dividing by the change in x-values. for example

Nimfa-mama [501]

Hi there!

The change of y-values is
- 15 - 22 = - 37
The change of x-values is
7 - - 8 = 7 + 8 = 15

Therefore, the slope of this line is
$\frac{ - 37}{15} = - 2 \frac{7}{15}$
