Question

Write the equation for the line with the given properties
passing through (-5,7) and (3,-4)

Answer 1

for this you should use the point-slope equation

Answer 2

get slope first

Answer 3

(y-y1)=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and y and x are coordinates of a point on the line

Answer 4

to find the slope use\[\frac{ y _{1}-y _{2} }{ x _{1}-x _{2} }\]

Answer 5

I'm kind of just checking my answer...should i come out to : y=-11/8x+89/8

Answer 6

just plug in the points

Answer 7

Can someone please tell me if I got the correct answer? Thanks.

Answer 8

I got y = -11/8x+1/8
