Question 1062208
Point slope form is:
 y-y1 = m(x-x1)

—
  m = slope = change_in_y/change_in_x = (-4-2)/(1-(-8) = -6/9 = -2/3
—
 Equation of line in point slope form is:    y-2 = -(2/3)(x + 8)
--
 You can use either point. 
 If you do use the other point, you should be able to rearrange the resulting equation to be exactly the same as the one above.
