Question

Write the point-slope form of an equation of the line through the points (-7, 7) and (4, 1).

A. y−4=−611(x−1)
B. y+1=−611(x+4)
C. y+7=−611(x−7)
D. y−7=−611(x+7)

Answer 1

D) y-7=-6/11(x+7)

Explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-7)/(4-(-7))

m=-6/(4+7)

m=-6/11

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-7=-6/11(x-(-7))

y-7=-6/11(x+7)

y=-6/11x-42/11+7

y=-6/11x-42/11+77/11

y=-6/11x+35/11
