Answer:
In the form y=mx+c it is y=-10/7x-45/7
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope given by (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=-5-5/-1-(-8)
m=-10/7(plug it into the formula and simplify)
y-5=-10/7(x-(-8)
y-5=-10/7(x+8){multiply through by 7}
7y-35=-10(x+8)
7y-35=-10x-80 (make y the subject)
7y=-10x-80+35
7y=-10x-45(divide through by 7)
y=-10/7x-45/7
