wtite an equatiom of the line through 5,-3 and -2 and -8 in slope intercept form
slope is (-8+3)/(-2-5)
Now you have a point and a slope
The line through (h,k) with slope m is
y = m(x-h)+k
or
y = mx + (k-mh)
Now you have a point and a slope
The line through (h,k) with slope m is
y = m(x-h)+k
or
y = mx + (k-mh)
