Answer:
y + 7 = -13/6(x-8)
and
y + 1 = -13/6(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the slope using [tex]m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex].
-5-8/-1+7 = -13/6
2. Plug the slope into the point-slope form, [tex]y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)[/tex].
y - y1 = -13/6(x-x1)
3. Plug in one of the points to get the answer.
y + 7 = -13/6(x-8)
y + 1 = -13/6(x+5)
