Question

Write the equation of the line with (1,-7) and -1, in slope intercept form

Answer 1

y = -x - 6

Explanation:

We can use the slope intercept form expression [ y = mx + b ], the slope, and the point to find the y-intercept.

-7 = 1(-1) + b

-7 = -1 + b

-6 = b

Input the data we know back into the expression.

y = -x - 6

Best of Luck!
