Answer:

Explanation:

The equation of a line

y = mx + c

y - intercept point y

m - slope of the line

x - intercept point x.

c - intercept of the line

Step 1: find the slope

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Given two points

( -7 , -7) ( -7 , 4)

x1 = -7

y1 = -7

x2 = -7

y2 = 4

Insert the values into the equation

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

m = 4 + 7 / -7 + 7

m = 11/ 0

Step 2: sub any of the two points given into the equation

y= mx + c

y = 11/0x + c

(-7 ,4 )

x = -7

y = 4

4 = 11/0(-7) + c

4 = -77/0 +c

-77/0 is math error which means that the points are not correct
