what is an equation that goes through the points (2,8) and (-8,-7)

Answer 1

(2,8) and (-8,-7) have a line through them

with slope = "rise over run" = (8+7)/(2+8) = 15/10=3/2

= difference in y coordinates divided by the difference in x coordinates

in point slope form the equation is

y-8 = (3/2)(x-2)

or

y = (3/2)x +5 in slope intercept form

or

3x-2y = -10 in standard form
