Answer: y = ⁶/₇ ( x - 7 )

Explanation:

The slope of tghe line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

= (- 6 -0) ÷ ( 0 - 7)

= ⁶/₇

We can now use the point-slope form to write the equation for this line:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) where (x₁ , y₁) = (7 , 0)

y = ⁶/₇ ( x - 7 )

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points. (0.-6) and (7.0)-example-1
