Question

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (5, -9) and (-6, 1). Include your work in your final answer

Answer 1

First, you would need to find the slope of those two points by doing change in y over the change in x and you'd get 1-(-9) over -6-5 to get the slope of -11/10. Now you know the slope and have points available to use. Using the point (-6,1) and point-slope formula y-y1=slope(x-x1) you can substitute and get y-1=-11/10(x-(-1))
