A line contains the points (8, 9) and (–12, –7). Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through (–5, –15).

Answer 1

slope of the line going through the first two points
= (-7-9)/(-12-8) = -16/-20 = 4/5

so going through new point (-5,-15) with the same slope

y+15 = (4/5)(x+5)

do whatever you have to do further, but that is in
point-slope form

Answer 2

udk

Answer 3

line passes through ( 1, -5 ) and ( -3, 7).
a.) Write an equation for the line point-slope form.

B, Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
