Answer:
y - 6 = - 7(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 8)
m = =
= - 7
Use either of the 2 points for (a, b)
Using (3, 6), then
y - 6 = - 7(x - 3) ← in point- slope form
