Answer:

y - 7 = -1/4(x-4)

Explanation:

point slope is y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

(4, 7) and (8, 6)

I like to put it in the slope-intercept form first

so... 6 - 7/ 8-4 = -1/4 (slope)

6 = -1/4(8) + b

6/(-2) = -2/(-2) + b

-3 = b

so... y=-1/4x + -3

plug it in to point slope form

y - 7 = -1/4(x-4)

hopefully that made sense :)
