Question

Find an equation of the line passing through the following points (-8, 4) and (-5, -5)

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -3x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

°First find the gradient between the two points

Gradient= - 3

°Using the formula y= mx+c substitute the gradient into the equation. You'll get something like this: y=-3x+c

°Substitute the point (-8;4) in the above equation. You'll get something like this : 4=-3(-8) +c

°Calculate the value of c. It'll give you c=-20

°Substitute c=-20 in the equation

Final answer is y= - 3x-20
