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? y = –10x – 2 y = –1x – 8 –8 = –2x – 1 y = –2x – 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

We have two points (-5, 0) and (-1, -8). Substitute:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

m - slope

b - y-intercpet

Put the value of the slope and coordinates of the point (-5, 0) to the equation of a line:

       subtract 10 from both sides

Finally:

the graph on the bottom right

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2
