4 2/3 is equal to 4 8/12. 3 and 1/4 is equal to 3 3/12. 4 8/12- 3 3/12 = 1 5/12. 1 1/2 would be a better estimate.
Answer:
y = (-13/11)x - 5/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Where's the list of equations from which you're to choose?
The line that connects points (-8 ,9) and (3, -4) has the following slope:
9 - (-4)
m = ----------------- = -13/11
-8 - 3
Then the new line with this slope is y = (-13/11)x + c
and because (-8, 9) satisfies this equation, 9 = (-13/11)(-8) + c, and we need to calculate c from this. 9 = 104/11 + c, or
-c = 104/11 - 99/11, or - 5/11
Then the desired equation is y = (-13/11)x - 5/11
