Answer:
y -27 = 8(x -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope can be computed from the difference in y-values and the difference in x-values:
m = (change in y)/(change in x) = (-61-27)/(-8-3) = -88/-11 = 8
The point-slope equation is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)
Using the calculated slope and the first point, the equation is ...
y -27 = 8(x -3)
