Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7,1) and (7,-6).

Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.

Answer 1

y-1=-1/2(x+7)

Explanation:

Find the slope first using the slope formula.

y2-y1/x2-x1

-6-1/7--7

-7/14

Slope is -1/2

Now choose one of the coordinates and put it in point-slope form.

y-1=-1/2(x+7)
