Find the equation for the line that passes through the points (-10,5) and (7,-6). Give your answer in point-slope form. You do not need to simplify.

Question

imstuck · Answer

Do you know the point-slope formula?

imstuck · Answer

Do you know the slope formula?  You have to find the slope before you can write the equation in point-slope form.

anonymous · Answer

what is point-slope form

anonymous · Answer

is that y2-y1/x2-x1

imstuck · Answer

$$y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})$$That is point-slope, but like I said, you need to find the slope (m) before you can write your equation.

anonymous · Answer

SO ALL I have to find is the Slope which is M

imstuck · Answer

Yes, you got the slope formula right.  Find the slope from your two points using that formula.  What is the slope?

imstuck · Answer

You will find the slope then plug in your m, and the x and y from one of your points.
