Question

. Find the equation of the line passing through the points (3, 7) and (5, -1). Your answer should be in point -slope form.

Answer 1

Answer: m= -4 y=-4x + 19

Answer 2

y-7=-4(x-3)

find the slope first

-1-7/ 5-3= -8/2

m= -4

put the slope into the point slope formula,

y-y1=m(x-x1)

to get

y-7=-4(x-3)
