Thanks for your time and effort! :) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope for first two is change in y/change in x
8-(-7)/-2-2
8/-4=-2
second and third must have a slope of -2
k-1/8-(-2)
(k-1)/10 equals -2
-20=k-1
k=-19
(8,-19)
first and third should be the same
-19-(-7)/8-2
-12/6 slope is -2
