Aline passes through the points (-2,-7) and (-3,1) . find the slope and slope intercept form how do i find the slope and slope intercept form ?

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

= 1-(-7)/-3-(-2)

= 8/-1

= -8

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

We need to solve for the y-intercept.

y = -8x + b

We can use the point (-2, -7) to solve.

-7 = -8(-2) + b

-7 = 16 + b

-7 - 16 = 16 + b - 16

-23 = b

Now, we can put it in slope-intercept form.

y = -8x - 23

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

step-by-step explanation:

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part
