What is the equation of the line that passes through the points

Question

(−8, −2) and (2, −3)?

Answer 1

(-8,-2) (2,-3)

a line through these points has slope = (-3--2)/(2--8) = (-3+2)/(2+8) =-1/10

y=-(1/10)x + b, solve for b by plugging in either point

-3 =-(1/10)(2) + b

b =-3+1/5 = -2.8

y=(-1/10)x -14/5 is the line through the given 2 points

or

10y=-x -28

or

x+10y =-28
