Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (–3, 7) and (9, –1)?
galben [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we find the slope

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-3,7)....x1 = -3 and y1 = 7

(9,-1)...x2 = 9 and y2 = -1

now we sub

slope(m) = (-1 - 7) / (9 - (-3) = -8 / (9 + 3) = -8 / 12 reduces to - 2/3

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -2/3

use either of ur points...I will use (-3,7)...x = -3 and y = 7

now we sub and find b, the y intercept

7 = -2/3(-3) + b

7 = 2 + b

7 - 2 = b

5 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2/3x + 5 <===
