Write the equation of this line in point slope form the line passes through (-2,22) and (4,8)

step 1

Find the slope

m=(8-22)/(4+2)

m=-14/6

m=-7/3

step 2

Find the equation in point slope form

y-y1=m(x-x1)

we have

m=-7/3

if take the point (-2,22)

the equation is

y-22=-(7/3)(x+2)

If take the point (4,8)

the equation is

y-8=-(7/3)(x-4)
