Question

Write the point-slope form of the given line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (3, -3). Identify (x1, y1) as (-4, -1).Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution.

Answer 1

y + 1 = -2/7 (x + 4)

Explanation:

Find the slope using y₂ -y₁ /x₂ -x₁

m = -3 + 1 / 3 + 4

m = -2/7

Plug the m, x and y into the point slope equation y - y₁ = m ( x - x₁)

y + 1 = -2/7 (x + 4)
