Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 7 = - 1(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = - 1 and (a, b) = (4, 7) , thus

y - 7 = - (x - 4)
