What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, -5) and
(-5, -3)?


Sagot :

Answer: y = -x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3,-5) (-5,-3)

Slope (m) = (y-y)/(x-x) = (-3- -5)/(-5- -3) = (-3+5)/(-5+3) = 2/- 2 = - 1

m = - 1

Point (-3,-5)

y-y=m(x-x)

y- -5= -1(x- -3) = y+5 = -1(x+3)

y+5 = - x -3

y+5= - x - 3 (substract 5 from both sides)

y = - x - 8
