Question 219456
y - 11 = - 5 (x + 8) p.s the 5 and 2 is a fraction
2 
:
Assume the equation is
y - 11 = {{{-5/2}}}(x + 8)
:
Multiply what's inside the brackets
y - 11 = {{{-5/2}}}x + {{{-5/2}}}*8
y - 11 = {{{-5/2}}}x - 20
Cancel the 2 into 8
y - 11 = {{{-5/2}}}x + -5(4)
y - 11 = {{{-5/2}}}x - 20
Add 11 to both sides
y = {{{-5/2}}}x - 20 + 11
y = {{{-5/2}}}x - 9; the slope intercept form
