Answer:

y = - 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, 15)

m = \frac{15+9}{-4-8} = \frac{24}{-12} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (8, - 9), then

- 9 = - 16 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 16 = 7

y = - 2x + 7 ← equation of line
