Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through each pair of points
(-1, 3) and (2,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=-\frac{8}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y-3}{x-(-1)} =\frac{-5-3}{2-(-1)} \\\frac{y-3}{x+1} =\frac{-8}{3} \\3y-9=-8x-8\\3y=-8x+1\\y=-\frac{8}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$
