Question

Passes through (-8, 3) and (8, -1).

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope = Y2 -Y1 / X2 - X1

Slope = -1 -3 / 8 --8

Slope = -4 / 16

Slope = -1 / 4

To calculate the equation we fill in this equation:

(y - y1) = slope • (x -x1)

We only need to choose 1 point so we'll choose (-8, 3)

(y - 3) = -1 / 4 * (x --8)

So the Equation equals

y = -1 / 4 x -2 + 3

y = -1 / 4x +1
