Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (-8, 2) and (1, -4). include your work in your final answer. type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

The point-slope form can be simplified from the 2-point form.

y +4 = (-4-2)/(1-(-8))*(x -1) . . . . 2-point form
y +4 = -6/9(x -1)
y +4 = -2/3(x -1) . . . . . point-slope form

_____
Above is the usual form associated with the term "point-slope form." I prefer a form with the y-value of the point added to both sides:
.. y = -2/3(x -1) -4

(1/x + 1)^2 + 6 (1/x + 1) +5

If the diameter is 8 than the radius is 4 because 2r or 2*radius equals the diameter. 4*2=8. 8/2=4.
