Answer:

y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 11

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 )

Here m = - \frac{5}{2} , then

y = - \frac{5}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (8, - 9) into the partial equation

- 9 = - 20 + c ⇒ c = - 9 + 20 = 11

y = - \frac{5}{2} x + 11 ← equation of line

    x^2-5x+6=0

    x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4\times1\times6}}{2\times1}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25-4\times6}}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{25-24}}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{1}}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5\pm1}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{5-1}{2}\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=\frac{5+1}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{4}{2}\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=\frac{6}{2}\Leftrightarrow

\Leftrightarrow x=2\;\;\;\vee\;\;\;x=3

Answer:  x\in\{2\;;\;3\}
