Without the given curve no response is possible. Read before you post.

To make a linear equation you would use the 2 points given to find the slope. Then use (y-y1)=m(x-x1) with the slope and one of the points.


m=(8-(-8))/(-7-8)=-16/15

(y-8)=-16/15(x+7) or y=-16/15x+8/15

Hi. This is the line segment that connects the 2 points given. I don’t know what else the problem is asking for.
