Answer 1

Walk Me Through Please !

Answer 2

ayt

Answer 3

find the slope first

Answer 4

m = -7/4 @Arhin

Answer 5

choose one of the points

Answer 6

and fix it in the formula y - \[y-y _{1}=\frac{ dy }{ dx }(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 7

um so lets use (2,7)
im confused just a little

Answer 8

where x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the point you chose

Answer 9

\[y-7=\frac{ -7 }{ 4 }(x-2)\]

Answer 10

simplify your answer and write it in the form \[ax+by+c=0\]

Answer 11

@Arhin ok so I know its gonna be -7x

Answer 12

\[-7x -4y-14=0 \]

Answer 13

or \[7x+4y+14=0\]

Answer 14

Mhm these are not one of my choices given I have
-7x + 8y = 42
-7x - 8y = 42
-7x + 8y = -42
8x + 7y = 42
@Arhin

Answer 15

yeah sorry the slope is rather 7/8

Answer 16

you will get A as your answer
