Answer:

\textsf{A)} \quad y-7=-\dfrac{6}{11}(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Find the slope</u>

Define the points:

\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(-7,7)

\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(4,1)

Use the <u>slope formula</u> to find the slope:

\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{1-7}{4-(-7)}=-\dfrac{6}{11}

<u>Step 2:  Find the equation</u>

Use the found slope from step 1 together with one of the given points in the <u>point-slope form of a linear equation</u>:

\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

\implies y-7=-\dfrac{6}{11}(x-(-7))

\implies y-7=-\dfrac{6}{11}(x+7)

<u>Conclusion</u>

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7, 7) and (4, 1) is:

y-7=-\dfrac{6}{11}(x+7)

Answer:

y = (1/2)x - 3     Answer A is closest.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1).  Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier.  The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.

Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2.  Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.

The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):

y = (1/2)x - 3

Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility.  1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.
