Question

What is the equation in point slope form, for a line that goes through (7, -8) and (-4, 6) brainly

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is y - 6 = -14/11(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this line, we first need to find the slope. To do that, we use the slope equation.

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

m = (6 - -8)/(-4 - 7)

m = (6 + 8)/(-4 - 7)

m = 14/-11

m = -14/11

Now that we have the slope, we can use it and either point in point-slope form and solve for the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 6 = -14/11(x + 4)
