Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points

(−7,−3)and (−2,−1). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answer 1

The equation that passes through (−7,−3)and (−2,−1) is y=2/5x-1/5

Explanation:

m=y²-y¹/x²-x¹

m=(-1)-(-3)/(-2)-(-7)

m=2/5

y-y=m(x-x¹)

y-(-1)=2/5(x-(-2)

y+1=2/5x+4/5

-1 -1

y=2/5x-1/5
