What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-8, 2) and
(-4, -3)?

y = -5/4x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = m = -5/4

y = -5/4x + c (or b, depending on where you're from)

You can sub (-8, 2) and  (-4, -3) into y = -5/4x - c and both are the same to where c = -8

Therefore, the equation is = y = -5/4x + (- 8)

= y = -5/4x - 8

Hope this helps

what are you trying to solve here

step-by-step explanation:

a and c

for infinitely many solutions we require both left and right sides to be equal

distribute and simplify

a

14 - 8x = 20 - 8x - 6 = 14 - 8x ← both sides equal so infinite solutions

b

6x - 54 = 6x - 54 + x = 7x - 54 ← not equal

c

4x + 16 = 4x + 10 + 6 = 4x + 16 ← both sides equal so infinite solutions

d

5x - 40 + 10 = 5x + 10

5x - 30 = 5x + 10 ← not equal
