PLEASE ANSWER IXL QUESTION, WILL GIVE BRAINLITIS
its attached

y=-x/3+7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use linear function: y=mx+b

m= -1/3

Substitue

m= -1/3,(8,-5)

5= -1/3 * (-8) +b

Solve the equation

5= -1/3 *(-8) +b

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation

-b= -1/3 * (-8) -5

Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation

b= 1/3 * (-8) +5

Remove the parentheses

b= -1/3 *8+5

Write as a single fraction

b= -8/3+5

Convert the expression into a fraction

b=-8/3+5/1

Expand the fraction to get the least common denominator

b= -8/3+5*3/1*3

Calculate product or quotient

b=-8/3+15/3

Write the numerators over the common denominator

b=-8+15/3

Calculate the sum or difference

b=7/3

Subsitute

m= -1/3,b=7/3

y= -1/3x+7/3

Rewrite the equation

y= -1/3x+7/3

Find the required form

y=-x/3+7/3

Hope this helps!!

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?
