Question

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
Passing through (-5, -7) and (-8, -6)

A. y - 7 = -1/3 (x - 5) or y - 6 = -1/3 (x - 8)
B. y + 7 = -1/3 (x + 5) or y + 6 = -1/3 (x + 8)
C. y + 7 = -1/3 x - 5 or y + 6 = -1/3 x + 7

Answer 1

First find the slope

Answer 2

Point Slope Form: y – y1 = m(x – x1)
