Answer:

slope = -3/4

using the formula

y -y1 = m(x -x1)

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

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

cross multiply

4(y -1) = -3(x +8)

4y -4 = -3x -24

4y = -3x -24 +4

4y = -3x -20

divide both sides by 4

y = -3/4 x -5 (equation of the line)

The answer is simple to work out you do 3/8 + 1/3

but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me
