What the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8,0) and (9,-3)?

Question

Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answer 1

slope = -3/17 = (-3-0)/(9--8) = -3/17

0=(-3/17)(-8) + b where b = y intercept

b = -24/17

y = (-3/17)x - 24/17 is the equation through the two points

-3 = -27/17 -24/17 = -51/17 = -3
