Question

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-8, 2) and
(-4, -3)?

Answer 1

y = -5/4x - 8

Explanation:

Slope = m = -5/4

y = -5/4x + c (or b, depending on where you're from)

You can sub (-8, 2) and (-4, -3) into y = -5/4x - c and both are the same to where c = -8

Therefore, the equation is = y = -5/4x + (- 8)

= y = -5/4x - 8

Hope this helps
