Question

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points.

(-2,8) and (1,0)
The equation is ______. (Type your answer in slope-intercept form.)

Answer 1

y = -8/3x + 8/3

Explanation:

(-2, 8) and (1, 0)

m = 0-8/1+2

m = -8/3

y = -8/3x + b

0 = -8/3(1) + b

0 = -8/3 + b

b = 8/3

y = -8/3x + 8/3
