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

I dont understand how to do this inequality 4x +6 <-6
Mama L [17]
4x + 6 < -6

First, subtract 6 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -6 - 6
Second, simplify -6 - 6 to -12. / Your problem should look like: 3x < -12
Third, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: x < -\frac{12}{4}
Fourth, simplify \frac{12}{4} to 3. / Your problem should look like: x < -3

Answer: x < -3
