You first have to find the slope using the slope formula.  That looks like this with our values:  \frac{-2-(-1)}{5-(-3)}=- \frac{1}{8}.  So the slope is -1/8.  Use one of the points to first write the equation in y = mx + b form.  We have an x and a y to use from one of the points and we also have the slope we just found.  Filling in accordingly to solve for b gives us -2=5(- \frac{1}{8})+b  and  -2=- \frac{5}{8}+b.  Adding 5/8 to both sides and getting a common denominator gives us that  b=- \frac{11}{8}.  Writing our slope-intercept form we have y=- \frac{1}{8}x- \frac{11}{8}.  Standard form for a line is Ax + By = C...no fractions allowed.  So let's get rid of that 8 by multiplying each term by 8 to get 8y = -x - 11.  Add x to both sides to get it into the correct form:  x + 8y = -11

PLEASE ANSWER + BRAINLIEST!!
vovikov84 [41]
If you have a product of variables, it is not linear.

A. x(y - 5) = 2
xy - 5x = 2
xy is a product of variables, so option A is not linear.
