What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, -5) and
(-8, -2)?

Solution:
<u>Step-1: Find the slope of the line.</u>
Formula of slope: y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁
- y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁ = Slope
- => -2 - (-5)/-8 - (-4) = Slope
- => -2 + 5/-8 + 4 = Slope
- => 3/-4 = Slope
<u>Step-2: Use the point slope formula to determine the slope.</u>
Point slope form formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
- y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) = Equation of line
- => y - (-5) = -3/4{x - (-4)} = Equation of line
- => y + 5 = -3/4{x + 4} = Equation of line
- => y + 5 = -3x/4 - 3 = Equation of line
- => y = -3x/4 - 8 = Equation of line
The equation of the line is <u>y = -3x/4 - 8.</u>
To find the equation, First step is to find the slope which we can use in the formula and then we will find the equation using the specific formula...
