complete the equation of the line through (-8-2) and (-4-6)

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since you are given two points use the point- slope formula and the slope formula

y-y1 = m( x -x1)   and  m = y2 -y1 / x2 - x1        

find the slope m, 1st

p1 = (x1,y1)  given (-8,-2)

p2 = (x2,y2) given (-4,-6)

m = -6-(-2) / -4-(-8)

m = -6+2 / -4+8

m = -4 / 4

m = -1  :)

now use the slope you just found and the point-slope with either given point.. pick one.. which ever seems easier... they seem about the same to me

y - (-8) = -1(x-(-2))

y+8 = -1(x+2)

y+8 = -x-2

y = -x-2-8

y= -x-10

and your done :)
