Question 669115: Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.
Passing through (-2, -8) and (-8, -5)
Choices

1. y = 1/2x - 9

2. y = mx - 9

3. y + 8 = - 1/2 (x + 2)

4. y = -1/2 x - 9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = %28-5--8%29%2F%28-8--2%29+=+3%2F-6+=+-1%2F2
...
Using (-2, -8) and slope
-8+=+%28-1%2F2%29%28-2%29+%2B+b
b = -8 - 1 = -9
...
highlight_green%28y+=+%28-1%2F2%29x+-+9%29
