Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-3, -3) and (8,7). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

First you want to find the slope

y2-y1/x2-x1

7-(-3)/8-(-3)

Two negatives equal a positive. so Rewrite

7+3/8+3

10/11

Slope=10/11

To find the equation of the line..

y-y1=10/11(x-x1)

y-(-3)=10/11(x-(-3)

Again double negative, so rewrite

y+3=10/11(x+3)

y+3=10/11x+30/11

Subtract three from both sides to isolate 'y'

y+3-3=10/11x+30/11-3

y=10/11x+30/11-3

y=10/11x-3/11
