Question

Given the two points (4,-8) and (0, -4), write the equation of the line that includes both points. Show work.

Answer 1

the slope = (-8--4)/(4-0) = -4/4 = -1 = m

y-k=m(x-h) where m=-1 and k=-4, x=0 just plug in either point along with the slope

y+4 =-x or

y =-x -4 where -4 is the y intercept
