Question

What is the equation of the line will mark you brainliest

Answer 1

so you're going to need to find the slope. in order to do that use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(7-(-2))/(0-8)

simplify

9/-8

simplify -9/8

now using y=mx+b, we need to find b. so we can plug in the coordinates of (0,7) or (8,-2). let's use (8,-2) because it involves more math.

y=mx+b

-2=(-9/8)(8)+b

multiply (-9/8) by 8 to get -9

-2=-9+b

add 9 to both sides

7=b

so our equation is now

y=-(9/8)x+7
