Question

A line includes the points (8,5) and (9, – 5). What is its equation in point-slope form?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

         $=\frac{-5-5}{9-8}\\\\=\frac{-10}{1}\\\\=-10$

Point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -10(x - 8)
