Answer :
The equation for the line in point-slope form is:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]Where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point of the line. If we have two points (x1,y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is equal to:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]So, replacing (3, -8) and (-2, 5), we get that the slope and the equation of the line are:
[tex]m=\frac{5-(-8)}{-2-3}=\frac{5+8}{-5}=\frac{-13}{5}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} y-(-8)=\frac{-13}{5}(x-3) \\ y+8=-\frac{13}{5}(x-3) \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is calculated as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y+8=-\frac{13}{5}x-\frac{13}{5}\cdot(-3) \\ y+8=-\frac{13}{5}x+\frac{39}{5} \\ y=-\frac{13}{5}x+\frac{39}{5}-8 \\ y=-\frac{13}{5}x-\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: Point-slope form:
[tex]y+8=-\frac{13}{5}(x-3)[/tex]slope-intercept form:
[tex]y=-\frac{13}{5}x-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
