Write the equation of the line that contains the point (-8,6) and has the same slope as the line represented by the table of values below.

Write the equation of the line that contains the point 86 and has the same slope as the line represented by the table of values below class=

Respuesta :

step 1

Find the slope of the line represented by the table of values

take the points

(-8,13) and (-4,5)

m=(5-13)/(-4+8)

m=-8/4

m=-2

step 2

Write the equation of the line that contains the point (-8,6) and has the same slope as the line represented by the table

y=mx+b

we have

m=-2 -----> the same slope of the given line

point (-8,6)

substitute in the equation of the line in slope intercepot form

6=-2*(-8)+b

solve for b

6=16+b

b=-10

therefore

teh equatiion of the line is

y=-2x-10
