Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, - 5) and (-9,3). Express your answer in

Answer 1

that's the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ = \frac{3 - - 5}{ - 9 - - 3} = \frac{8}{ - 6} \\ \frac{y - 3}{x - - 9} = \frac{8}{ - 6} \\ - 6(y - 3) = 8(x - - 9) \\ - 6y + 18 = 8x + 72 \\ - 6y = 8x + 72 -18 \\ - 6y = 8x + 54 \\ \frac{ - 6y}{ - 6} = \frac{8x}{ - 6} + \frac{54}{ - 6} \\ y = \frac{8x}{ - 6} - 9$
