Question

Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-2,8) and (-8,2).

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, out it into y=mx+b. Then find the slope(m). insert slope and one set of coordinates into equation and solve for y-intercept (b). Then you have your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 1x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

2 - 8 / -8 - (-2)

-6/ -6

1

y = 1x + b

2 = 1(-8) + b

2 = -8 + b

10 = b
