Answers:

y + 29 = -4(x - 8)

y = -4x + 3

4x + y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the slope

m = (-29 -(-17))/(8 - 5) = (-12)/3 = -4

Now you need to plug it into point-slope form.  You can either point for this.

y - (-29) = -4(x - 8)

y + 29 = -4(x - 8) - an answer (You can simplify for slope-intercept)

y + 29 = -4x + 32

y = -4x + 32 - 29

y = -4x + 3 - an answer (You can simplify for standard form)

4x + y = 3 - an answer
