Question 595981: I am having trouble with linear equations. given the information of :
m=2/3,(2-8)
I can get the first part of this and I can put it on the graft
y+8=2/3(x-(-2))
I know the answer is
y=2/3x-28/3 I do not know how to get to the -20 that you add the -8 to. is ther an easy why to do this please help?????
Thank you

-coordinate. Hence:
)
Now, distribute the slope fraction:
Then add -8 to both sides:
But 8 is the same thing as 
, so:
Now just add the numerators on the fractions with like denominators and you have it:
