Answer:
y = -5/14 -13/7
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (1 - -4)/(-8 - 6)
= (1+4)/(-8-6)
= 5/-14
=-5/14
Point slope form is
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y - -4 = -5/14(x-6)
y+4 = -5/14(x-6)
We want the equation in slope intercept form y = mx+b
Distribute
y+4 = -5/14x + 15/7
Subtract 4 from each side
y+4 -4= -5/14x + 15/7-4
y = -5/14x +15/7 - 28/7
y = -5/14 -13/7
