Question

Please help me with this problem!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

y + 20 = 9(x + 2)

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

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 20) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (9, 79)

m = $\frac{79+20}{9+2}$ = $\frac{99}{11}$ = 9

Using (a, b) = (- 2, - 20), then

y - (- 20) = 9(x - (- 2)), that is

y + 20 = 9(x + 2)
