Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,6) and (-1, -9).

Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.

Answer 1

y-6=-3(x+6)

Explanation:

Find the slope first, using the slope formula.

y2-y1/x2-x1

-9-6/-1--6 = -15/5

Slope is -3

Put it into point-slope form using one of the coordinates.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-3(x+6)
