Question

Use the following two points to answer parts a - c. (2, 9), (4, - 7) a . Find the slope of the line passing through the two points. b . Write an equation of a line passing through the two points in point-slope form. c Rewrite the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

slope= m =y2-y1/x2-x1, then

`\begin{gathered} m=(-7-9)/(4-2) \\ m=-(16)/(2) \\ m=-8 \end{gathered}`

a. slope = -8
