Graph the line that passes through the points (-1,-6) and (-8,8) and determine the equation of the line. ​

y = -2x-8 > the equation of the line

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

8 = -2(-8)+b

= 16 + b

-16 -16

-8 = b

y^2 - y^1/x^2 - x^1

= 8-(-6) / -8-(-1)

= -14/7

= m = -2

Final y = -2x-8

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
