Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (4,1),(-2,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

(y - 1) = -1 (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the m (slope) using slope formula

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) aka (7 - 1)/(-2 - 4) = 6/-6 thus, m (slope) is -1

Step 2: Use point of your choice (I used [4,1]) and plug the slope and point into equation. Note: equation is (y - y1) = m (x - x1)
