Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7, 2) and (3, -2) in point-slope form

Answer 1

Answer:

y-2=(4/-10) * (x-(-7))

Step-by-step explanation:

First find slope (Y1-Y2)/(X1-X2)

(2- -2)/(-7-3)= 4/-10

Plug into the equation y1-y2= M (x1-x2) for the x and y choose which set of numbers you want. I chose the first (-7,2)

y-2=(4/-10) * (x-(-7)) point-slope form

You could also convert it to slope intercept form by distributing the slope and getting y by itself like this

Y-2= (4/-10)x -2.8

Y= (4/-10) x + 0.8
