Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) point slope form is:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=8

x1=4

m=(slope)

to find m: y2-y1/x2-x1

hence

-2-8/2-4=-10/-2=5

m=5:

y-8=5(x+4)

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\A(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquadB(\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquadd = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{[-2-4]^2+[1-(-7)]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(1+7)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{(-6)^2+8^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{36+64}\implies AB=\sqrt{100}\implies AB=10$
