Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points
-$( 6,0 )$ and $( - 5 , - 8 )$
A) $y = \frac { 8 } { 11 } x - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$
B) $y = - \frac { 6 } { 11 } x - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$
C) $y = \frac { 6 } { 11 } x - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$
D) $y = - \frac { 8 } { 11 } x - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line is $\frac { - 8 - 0 } { - 5 - 6 } = \frac { - 8 } { - 11 } = \frac { 8 } { 11 }$. The y-intercept is $ - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$. So the equation of the line is $y = \frac { 8 } { 11 } x - \frac { 48 } { 11 }$.
