Answer:
y = 3x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, 14) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 2, - 16)
m = [tex]\frac{-16-14}{-2-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-30}{-10}[/tex] = 3 , then
y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (8, 14 ) , then
14 = 24 + c ⇒ c = 14 - 24 = - 10
y = 3x - 10 ← equation of line
