Write the equation of a line in point slope form that goes through the points (7,-5) and (3,8)
step 1
Find the slope
m=(8+5)/(3-7)
m=13/-4
m=-13/4
step 2
write the equation in point slope form
so
y-y1=m(x-x1)
we take the point (7,-5)
substitute
y+5=-(13/4)(x-7)
If you take the point (3,8)
we have
y-8=-(13/4)(x-3)
