Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{31}{5}x-8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]
m - slope
b - y-intercept - (0, b)
The formula of a slope:
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
====================================
We have the points (0, -8) → b = -8, and (-5, 23).
Substitute:
[tex]m=\dfrac{23-(-8)}{-5-0}=\dfrac{31}{-5}=-\dfrac{31}{5}[/tex]
Put the value of the slope and of the y-intercept to the equation of a line:
[tex]y=-\dfrac{31}{5}x-8[/tex]
