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

Crazy boy [7]

It takes 45 seconds. the easiest way to do these is to use a graphic calculator and replace the variables with x and y, for example, this equation would become -5x^2+30x, and if you don't have access to a graphing calculator, you can always use desmos online.
