Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP FAST !!!!! What is an equation in point-slope form for the linear function whose graph contains the points (4,-7) and (5.O)? Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer:

y-0=7(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first calculate the slope (m) by using the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1}{x_{2}-x_{1}} =\frac{0-(-7)}{5-4} =\frac{7}{1} =7$

So our slope (m) is 7.  Now we will plug in our slope and we can choose any point either (4,-7) or (5,0).  I will choose (5,0) since it will make the math easier to work with and so:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\\\\y-(0)=7(x-5)$
