Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given point. include your work in your final answer. (-8,0) and (1,5)

We are given two points on the line. Using these points first we need to find the slope of the line.

The points are (-8,0) and (1,5). The slope(m) of the line will be:



Using the slope and a point (-8,0) we can write the equation in point slope form as:



In standard form, the equation will be:

5x - 9y = - 40
