Question:

Write the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, 6) and (-6, 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:

This is not possible because both have the same x coordinate so the correct answer would be Undefined Slope.

x-intercept is -1 implies line passes through (-1,0).
So point slope form is

y - 0 = -2 (x -(-1) )

>> y = -2 (x +1) <----- FINAL ANSWER
