Question

Write an equation in point-slope form of a line that goes through the points (1,4) and (3,-10). Do not use any spaces in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

y-4=-7(x-1) OR y-(-10)=-7(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation: The point-slope form is $y_$-$y_{1}$=$m_$($x_$-$x_{1}$)

In slope-intercept form, the equation would be y = -7x + 11

You could find the slope by using the slope equation, $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$.

Using that, you would get -7. Thus by inserting one of the points and the slope in the point-slope equation, you will get your answer.
