Step-by-step explanation:
Marina, everyone has a tough time with this type of math problem, just send me a note if you get stuck on these. :P
You're given two points,
P1 = (-4,8) in the form (x1,y1)
P2 = (1,3) in the form (x2,y2) ( I made the forms, so can you )
slope = m
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (3-8) / ( 1 - (-4))
m = -5 / (1 + 4)
m = -5 / 5
m = -1
now use the point-slope formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(8) = -1(x-(-4))
y-8 = -1(x+4)
y-8 = -x -4
y = -x-4+8
y = -x +4
That's the equation :P
