Write an equation of the line in slope-intercept form
(-5,-1) (3,-9)

y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

-1 = -5m + b  --> b = 5m - 1

-9 = 3m + b  --> b = -3m - 9

5m - 1 = -3m - 9

8m = -8

m = -1

Plug back in the first equation.

-1 = -5(-1) + b

-1 = 5 + b

b = -6

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

two? xd
