Question

Find the point slope equation for (-2,-20) and (9,79)

Answer 1

Start by identifying your x1, x2, y1, and y2 values
x1: -2
x2: 9
y1: -20
y2: 79

The general form for writing a point slope equation is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
M is your slope.
To find the slope, plug the values you just identified into the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
This leaves you with 79+20/9+2
Which equals 9, so your slope (m) equals nine.
you can now plug everything into the general form which gives you:
y+20 = 9(x+2)
