Answer:

the equation of the line = y + x -3 -3 = 0

Explanation:

Equation of the line is give n by the formula

y - y¹ = m

x - x¹

note: m is the gradient.

Point = (3, 3) and (-1, 7).

Gradient =m= y2 - y1 = 7 - 3 = 4 = -1

x2 - x1 -1 -3 -4

the equation of the line

y - y1 = m

x - x1

y - 3 = -1

x - 3

note: Perform cross multiplication also remember every whole number is over one.

=y - 3 = -1 (x - 3)

=y - 3 = - x + 3

y + x - 3 - 3 = 0.
