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: m = StartFraction negative 8 minus 0 Over negative 1 minus (negative 5) EndFraction = StartFraction negative 8 Over 4 EndFraction = negative 2 2. Substitute one point and slope into slope-intercept form to find the y-intercept: 0 = negative 2 (negative 5) + b. 0 = 10 + b. b = negative 10. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? y = –10x – 2 y = –1x – 8 –8 = –2x – 1 y = –2x – 10
