You can put this solution on YOUR website! find an equation of the line containing the points (-5,-2) and (-13,-7)
---------------
slope = (-7--2)/(-13--5) = -5/-8 = 5/8
------------------------------------
Form: y = mx+b
-2 = (5/8)(-5)+b
-2 = -25/8 + b
b = -16/8+25/8
---
b = 9/8
----
Equation:
y = (5/8)x+(9/8)
