Question

Find the equation of the line specified. The line passes through the points (7, -7) and (6, -5)

a. y = -2x + 7
b. y = 2x -21
c. y = -2x - 7
d. y = 2x - 7​

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

a. y = -2x + 7

Explanation:

First, find the slope by plugging the points into the slope formula,
`(-7+5)/(7-6)`, which equals -2. Then use the slope and the point (7,-7) to make an equation in slope-point form. y+7=-2(x-7), finally solve for y to get y=-2x+7.
