Which is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, 8) and (1, 3)?

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Marina,  everyone has a tough time with this type of math problem,   just send me a note if you get stuck on these.   :P

You're given two points,  

P1 = (-4,8)  in the form (x1,y1)

P2 = (1,3)   in the form (x2,y2)   ( I made the forms, so can you )

slope = m

m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m = (3-8) / ( 1 - (-4))

m = -5 / (1 + 4)

m = -5 / 5

m = -1

now use the point-slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(8) = -1(x-(-4))

y-8 = -1(x+4)

y-8 = -x -4

y = -x-4+8

y = -x +4

That's the equation  :P
