Write the equation of a line through the points (-1, 3) and (2, -5). (Write the answer in Slope-Intercept form. Hint: calculate the slope first. Then use Point-Slope Form. Show all of your work.)

Answer 1

(-1,3), (2,-5)

(y+5)/(x-2) = slope= (3+5)/(-1-2)= -8/3

y+5= (-8/3)(x-2)

y= (-8/3)x +16/3-5

y=(-8/3)x +1/3
