Question

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the points (−6, 4) and (2, 0).

Answer 1

first find the slope:
\[slope = \frac{ rise }{ run } = \frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\] when given points (x1 , y1) and (x2, y2)
so plug in x1 = -6 , y1 = 4 , x2 = 2 , y2 = 0
and simplify
Then
point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
when m = slope and given the point (x1, y1)
you would plug in what you got for slope then plug in a given point...
