What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4, 8) and
(2, -1)?

Kayla,  learn this,  :D  more math is based on it.  Just learn it, just memorize the following

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope

m = rise / run

m = y2 - y1   /  x2 - x1       ( this is still rise over run but in point form )

they give us two points to plug into the above formula

P1 = (-4, 8 )  in the form of ( x1, y 1 )

P2 = (2, -1)  in the form of (x2, y2 )

now plug those into the above formula

m = ( -1 - 8 ) / ( 2-(-4) )

m = -9  /  ( 2 + 4 )

m = -9 / 6

m = - 3/2

since we know the slope now  , we can use the point slope equation of

y - y1 = m ( x - x1)

use the m we found and either point  , P1 or P2

y - 8 = -3/2(x -(-4) )

y-8 = -3/2(x + 4)

y-8 = -3/2x - 6

y = -3/2x -6 + 8

y = -3/2x + 2

there you go  :)

part a

in a city ice cream is mostly only bought when the temperature is very high as ice cream cools down our

so we can derive the conclusion that as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold also increases

part b

y intercept is 5

slope is 2

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

yes.. it's proven to be 36.
