Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7, –4) and (–1, 3), first in point-slope form, and then in slope-intercept form.

The slope of the line is .

When the point (7, –4) is used, the point-slope form of the line is .

The slope-intercept form of the line is .

Answer 1

y+4=(-7/8)(x-7)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of the line is -7/8

When the point (7, –4) is used, the point-slope form of the line is

y+4=(-7/8)(x-7)

The slope-intercept form of the line is y=(-7/8)x+(17/8)
