Question

Write an equation of a line going through (5,7) and (4 , -4)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of this line would be y = 11x - 48

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this equation, we first have to find the slope. We do that with the slope eqaution.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 7)/(4 - 5)

m = -11/-1

m = 11

Now we can use this slope and either point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 7 = 11(x - 5)

y - 7 = 11x - 55

y = 11x - 48
