Question

A line includes the points (8,-2) and (-8,-4). What is the slope intercept

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 1/8x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope intercept form of the line, you must first find the slope. You can do this using the slope formula.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2 - -4)/(8 - -8)

m = 2/16

m = 1/8

Then you can use this slope along with either point in point-slope form. Then solve for y.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 4 = 1/8(x + 8)

y + 4 = 1/8x + 1

y = 1/8x - 3
