Answer:
y = -5/8x +6
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (7/2 -11)/(4--8)
= (7/2 - 22/2)/(4+8)
= (-15/2)/(12)
= -15/24
Divide top and bottom by 3
-5/8
Then we can use point slope form to write the equation
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y- 11 =-5/8(x--8)
y- 11 =-5/8(x+8)
Distribute
y-11 =-5/8 x -5
Add 11 to each side
y-11 = -5/8x -5+11
y = -5/8x +6
