Use the work shown below to write the equation for a line that passes through the points (−5, 0) and (−1, −8). 1. use slope formula to find slope: 2. substitute one point and slope into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept: what is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

The following equation is an equation of a line in slope-intercept form
y = mx + b
(x,y) represents one of the points lies on the line, m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept

The line above passes through the points:
(x₁,y₁) = (-5,0)
(x₂,y₂) = (-1,-8)

1. Find the slope with slope formula
m = 
m =
m =
m =
m = -2
The slope is -2

2. Find the y-intercept by subtituting (x,y) = (-5,0) and m = -2 into slope-intercept form
y = mx + b
0 = -2(-5) + b
0 = 10 + b
b = -10
The y-intercept is -10

3. Therefore the line equation will be
y = mx + b
y = -2x - 10

The academic affairs council is the highest expert body processing academic affairs, as stipulated by the university statutes. specialist aaro häkkinen (educational policy) took part in the council’s meeting. the agenda of the meeting included bachelors’ feedback, the timing of pedagogical studies, the grant system for tuition fees, the standardisation of administrative practices for internships and the situation of foreign-language and multilingual master’s programmes.
