  • (4,3)
  • (6,1)

Slope of the line

  • m=(1-3)/6-4
  • m=-2/2
  • m=-1

Equation in point slope form

  • y-3=-1(x-4)
  • y-3=-x+4
  • y=-x+7
  • x+y=7

Answer:

x + y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula:


\sf slope: (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2- x_1) \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points

Find slope: given points: E(4, 3), F(6, 1)


\sf slope \ (m) : (1-3)/(6-4) = -1

Find Equation:
y - y_1 = m(x -x_1)


\sf y - 3 = -1(x - 4)


\sf y = -x + 4 + 3


\sf y = -x + 7


\sf x + y = 7 \quad (in \ standard \ form \ \rightarrow Ax + By = C)
