Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points.

(-3,-8) and (-9,-5)

The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=

Thank you:)

Answer provided by our tutors

we know that y = mx + c

so here we have slope m = -5+8 / ( -9+3)

                                   = -1/2

 

now we have -8 = -1/2 * 3 + c

c = -8 + 3/2

     = -13/2

 

so y intercept = -13/2
