Question 290510: Write equation for the line. Use slope-intercept form if possible.
through (5, -6) and (0,-8).
A) y = -2/5x -8 B) y = 11/8x -8 C) y = 2/5x -8 D) y = -11/8x - 8
This is what I got.
y = 2/5x + b
Do not know how to solve for b. Thanks for your time.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
plug one of the points in that and solve for b
from the looks of it so far it looks like c) y=2x/5-8
use 0,-8
