Hi  

Find the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through 

(-4, -2) and 

(-8, -1).

m =%28y%5B1%5D+-+y%5B2%5D%29%2F%28x%5B1%5D+-+x%5B2%5D+%29

m = -1/4 = - 1/4

***Using point-slope form, P(-4,-2)

 y+-+y%5B1%5D+=+highlight_green%28m%29%28x+-+x%5B1%5D%29

 y -(-2) = -.25(x-(-4))

 y = -.25x - 1 - 2

y = -.25x -3

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
