Question

What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7,5) and (−4,−1) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

-6/-11

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the gradient.

Which is defined by the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1

In the coordinates given, y2= -1   y1= 5      x2= -4     x1=7

-1-5/-4-7 = -6.75 (this is the slope / gradient)

Therefore it is -6/-11
