Question

Write the equation of the line in point-slope form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y-1= -3/4(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope then put it in the format: y2-y1=m(x2-x1)

y-1= -3/4(x-1)

Answer 2

Answer:

y = -3/4x + 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have 2 points:

(-3, 4) & (1, 1)

The formula for point-slope is:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

First, we need to find the slope between the points

The formula for this is

(y2 - y1) /(x2 - x1)

1 - 4 / 1 - (-3) ->

-3 / 4

Our slope is -3/4 (m)

y = -3/4 (x + 3) + 4

I've done this using a simplified formula for point slope which is

y = m(x - x1) + y1

we can simplify this equation more

y = -3/4x + 7/4

is our final equation.
