Question

Given the line below. Write the point-slope form of the given line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (3, -3). Identify (x1, y1) as (-4, -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

Explanation:

Slope is -2/7

Plug that into the equation y-y1=m(x-x1)

Y-(-1)=-2/7(x-(-4))

y+1=-2/7(x+4)

cannot do anything else after that so that is the answer.

Answer 2

`\bf \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})}\implies y-(-1)=-\cfrac{2}{7}[x-(-4)] \\\\\\ y+1=-\cfrac{2}{7}(x+4)`
