Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, -9) and (7, 1). Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer 1

First find the slope,
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(1-(-9))/(7-6)=10
Next, use the point slope form to find the equation:
L : y-y1=m(x-x1) => y-1=10(x-7)
[in point slope form, point is (7,1), slope=m=10 ]
