Write an equation in slope-intercept form of a line containing the point (8,-12) and (6,4).

Getting the Slope via Point-Slope form:

red%28m=-8%29

Thru point (8,-12):
y=mx%2Bb
-12=%28-8%29%288%29%2Bb
b=-12%2B64=red%2852%29, Y-Intercept

Also, thru point (6,4):
4=%28-8%29%286%29%2Bb
b=4%2B48=red%2852%29

Therefore, it follows ---> y = -8x + 52, Answer
