Answer:B is the right answer. Everything is divisible by 2x so divide 2x by all three components and leave remaining components letters in parentheses)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -7) and (-8, 3)?

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:

$y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, $m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

$m = \frac{(3)-(-7)}{(-8)-(0)}\\m = \frac{3+7}{-8-0} \\m = \frac{10}{-8} \\m = -\frac{5}{4}$

So, the slope is $-\frac{5}{4}$ .

2) Now, use the point-slope formula $y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)$ to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the $m$ , $x_1$ , and $y_1$ in the formula.

Since $m$ represents the slope, substitute $-\frac{5}{4}$ in its place. Since $x_1$ and $y_1$ represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:

$y-(-7) = -\frac{5}{4} (x-(0))\\y + 7 = -\frac{5}{4} x\\y = -\frac{5}{4} x-7$
