Answer:

Concept: Graph Analysis

Take a look at the first graph. Notice it goes through (0,-2) and the slope is 5/2 so the answer is A.
Next to find the equation we look at the y-intercept and determine that its -2 and the slope is -5/2. Hence the answer is C

Answer:

The equation of the line passing through the given points is:

$y=-\frac{8}{3}x-11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points are: $(x_1,y_1)=(-6,5)\textrm{ and }(x_2,y_2)=(-3,-3)$

The equation of a line when two points are given is:

$y-y_1=\left (\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \right )(x-x_1)$

Plug in all the values and simplify.

$y-5=\left (\frac{-3-5}{-3-(-6)} \right )(x-(-6))\\y-5=\left (\frac{-8}{-3+6} \right )(x+6)\\y-5=\left (\frac{-8}{3} \right )(x+6)\\y-5=\frac{-8}{3}x-16\\y=\frac{-8}{3}x-16+5\\\\y=-\frac{8}{3}x-11$
