Answer:
A(-3,4) B(1,-8)
y-y1/x-x1 =y2-y1/x2-x1
y-4/x--3 = -8-4/1--3
y-4/x+3 = -12/1+3
y-4/x+3 =-12/4
y-4/x+3 = -3
y-4 = -3(x+3)
y-4=-3x-9
y+3x +9-4=
y+3x+5=0
Answer:
y = -3x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3, 4 and 1, -8
1 - -3 = 4
-8 - 4 = -12
[tex]\frac{-12}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-3}{1}[/tex] = -3
gradient/slope = -3
now substituting in the point -3, 4 to find the y intercept:
4= -3 x -3 + c
4 = 9 + c
-5 = c
y intercept = -5
equation is y = -3x - 5
