What is the equation of line through (8,6) and (2,-4), My answer is -4x+2y=-16, but I'm not sure thats for any help.
Here are the Steps that will help you find the equation through point (8,6) and (2, -4).
1. Find the slope of the line through the two point

Let (8, 6) = ,
(2, -4) = ,

or

2. Write in slope - intercept form. Substitute the coordinates of either point for x and y and solve for b.
Let (x, y) = (2, -4)
y = mx + b

3. Substitute m = 5/3 and b = -22/3 to the slope-intercept form of the equation
y = mx + b
>>> simplify.Multiply 3 both each term of the equation.

The Graph looks like this
