Question 381362
<br><font face="Tahoma">You can use point-slope form to do this, ie: <br>

{{{y-y1=m(x-x1)}}}<br>

where m is the slope and you use the point (x1,y1)<br>

So for this problem, we have:<br>

{{{y-1=(-3/4)(x-(-8))}}}<br>

{{{y-1=(-3/4)(x+8)}}}<br>

{{{y-1=(-3x/4)+(-3/4)(8)}}}<br>

{{{y-1=(-3x/4)-6}}}<br>

{{{y=(-3x/4)-5}}} this is the equation in slope-intercept form!<br>

I hope this helps!<br>
