Answer:
Explanation:
In order to find the equation of a line, you must first find the slope and y-intercept point.
Remember, the equation for a line is.
y = mx+b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
To find slope
m = y2-y1/x2-x1
x1 , y1 x2, y2
(-3, 7) (4, -7)
/ = divided by
Plug those values into slope equation
(-7 - 7)/(4 - (-3))
= -14/7
m = -2
so now we know the slope; -2
y = -2x+b
Now lets find b:
Plug in any point on the line, lets use (-3, 7)
-3 is x
7 is a y
y = mx + b
7 = (-2)(-3) + b
7 - 6 = b
b = 1
So the final equation is
y = -2x + 1
