(-8,0) and (0,5)
Let's get the slope, first
Subtract the y's so we have 5 - 0 = 5
Subtractt the x's in the same order 0- (-8) = 8
Put the first result over the other .. 5/8 ... this is the slope = m
Using one of the points - I'll select (-8, 0) - we can use the point-slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1) and using (-8,0) for (x1, y1)
y - 0 = (5/8)(x - (-8))
y = (5/8)(x + 8)
y = (5/8)x + 5
And there's the equation !!!
