Answer:

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{6}x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope we need to do [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\[/tex]

x1= 0  y1= -8

x2= -6 y2= -3

[tex]\frac{-3-(-8)}{-6-0} =\frac{5}{-6} = -\frac{5}{6} \\[/tex]

Now that we know our slope is -5/6, we need to plug in one of the coordinates we have.

[tex]-8=-\frac{5}{6}(0)+b\\ -8=b[/tex]

Now that we know -8 is b, we plug in the answer into slope intercept form.

[tex]y=-\frac{5}{6}x-8[/tex]
