Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6, -9) and

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 7 = 16/13(x - 7)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Alg I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)  

• x₁ - x coordinate

• y₁ - y coordinate

• m - slope

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-6, -9)

Point (7, 7)

Step 2: Find slope m

1. Substitute:                   $m=\frac{7+9}{7+6}$
2. Add:                             $m=\frac{16}{13}$

Step 3: Write equation

y - 7 = 16/13(x - 7)
