Since you didn't list choices, I can only give you some guidance on the problem.

A kilometer is the length of 1000 meters. And a meter is about as tall as a normal desk height. So a kilometer is a relatively long distance compared to a desk.

It is also about half the length of a mile, or about 2 times around a normal athletic track.

Look for items that are long distance like that.

Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-7, 7) and (4, 1).

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Choice B. $\displaystyle y - 7 = -\frac{6}{11} \, (x + 7)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope of this line. Let $(x_1,\, y_1)$ and $(x_2,\, y_2)$ represent two distinct points on a line on a Cartesian Plane. (That is, $x_1 \ne x_2$ .) The slope of this line would be:

$\displaystyle \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$ .

For the line in this question:

$x_1 = -7$ ,
$y_1 = 7$ ;

$x_2 = 4,$
$y_2 = 1$ .

Indeed, $x_1 \ne x_2$ . The slope of this line would thus be $\displaystyle \frac{1 - 7}{4 - (-7)}$ , which is equal to $\displaystyle -\frac{6}{11}$ .

On a Cartesian Plane, the point-slope form of a line that has a slope of $m$ and includes the point $(x_0,\, y_0)$ can be written as:

$y - y_0 = m\, (x - x_0)$ .

(Note the minus signs in this form.)

For the line in this question, $m = \displaystyle -\frac{6}{11}$ . There are two equivalent expressions for its point-slope form:

Using the first point, $y - 7 = \displaystyle -\frac{6}{11}\, (x - (-7))$ . This equation is equivalent to $y - 7 = \displaystyle -\frac{6}{11}\, (x + 7)$ .
Using the second point, $y - 1 = \displaystyle -\frac{6}{11}\, (x - 4)$ .
