Find an equation of the line passing through the given points. Use function notation to write the equation.

Question

The coordinates provided are (-8,-3) and (-12,-2)

Answer 1

Use this:

y - y₀ = m (x - x₀)

where:

(x₀,y₀) = any point on the line

and m = slope = (y₁-y₀) / (x₁-x₀) ("rise over run")

where (x₁,y₁) is another point on the line
