HELP OR MY MOM WILL KILL ME!!!! What is the equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the points (7, 5) and (−4, −1)

?

y−1=611(x−4)

y+4=116(x+1)
y+1=611(x+4)
y+1=67(x+4)

Well lets find slope. Plug in our equation into the slope formula and tel me what you get

y2-y1 / x2-x1

decentnabeel · Answer

The Equation is..
y=mx+b
m is the Slope and b is the y-intercept
so that first find the slope using the two point 
m=slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

jagr2713 · Answer

When you do get the slope then we will have

M = ? and pick either first or second so  (7,5)

Then the point slope formula

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

decentnabeel · Answer

y2=-1 and y1=5
x2=-4  and x1=7
Plug the value @tTrumpDonald

oka @triciaal

jagr2713 · Answer

Well seem like you're gone? So lets solve.

-1-5= -6
-4-7 = -11

m= 6/11 and (-4,-1)
Now plug into point slope formula
y+1 = 6/11(x+4)

@TrumpDonald  we are not here to do the work for you. If you really need help you should be here to learn something and not devalue the learning process.

jagr2713 · Answer

Usually when the asker leaves i just finish the work so when they do come back they can have an idea of what went on :D Their internet could of crash etc etc.

Trump:  Do you have the slope now and understand where it came from?

The point-slope form is y=mx+b.
Substitute your value for the slope, m, into this equation.
Then, choose ONE of the 2 given points.  Subst. the x- and y-values from this point into the above equation.  Solve for the y-intercept, b.  Show your work.
