Moses is incorrect.

What is an<br> Answer:<br> equation of the line that passes through the points (-2, 7) and (-8, 4)?

Mariana [72]

-2=x1 7=y1 -8=x2 4=y2

Y=Mx+b

Y2-y1 = 4-7 =-3
X2-x1 = -8-(-2) = -6
M (slope) = 3

Use the coordinate (-8, 4)

Y = MX + B = 4 = 3(-8) + b
4 = -24+ B
Add 24 to both sides to keep your equation balanced
B equals 28

Y = 3X + 28
