<PRE><B>Question 712226</B>
 Im trying to find an equation of a line given the points (5, 0) and (-8,-3)
-----
slope = (-3-0)/(-8-5) = -3/-13 = 3/13
-----
Note: Slopes do not have to be whole numbers.
------
Form: y = mx + b
0 = (3/13)5 + b
b = -15/13
=================
Equation:
y = (3/13)x - (15/13)
========================
Cheers,
