Help please... write a linear equation for a line that goes through (5,-8) and (-9,-8)?

Question

I totally forget how to do these can you help me with this??

Answer 1

First: Find the slope of the line you are dealing with. Do this by taking (difference of the 'y's)/(difference of the 'x's). Then: Write the equation in point slope form. use one of the points and the slope. (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Solve for y and then you're done.
