you know what slope is right

#

the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x (

#

@buoyant palm

#

the change in y is -8

#

the change in x is 7

#

-8/7 is the slope

#

you can use this to find the parts b c

#

slope intercept y=m(slope)x + b(intercept)

#

idk how to describe point slope well so chatgpt says this

The point-slope form of a linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line, and m is the slope.

Given a slope of -8/7, the point-slope form would be y - y1 = (-8/7)(x - x1). However, to write it fully, I need the coordinates of a point on the line (x1, y1)

The coords are in the problem so finish the equation and replace x2 and y2
