Writing Linear Equations

Question 71782 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7, –4) and (–1, 3), first in point-slope form, and then in slope-intercept form.

Answer
The slope of the line is .:

–7/8

When the point (7, –4) is used, the point-slope form of the line is .:

y+ 4 = (–7/8)(x – 7)

The slope-intercept form of the line is .:

y = (–7/8)x + (17/8)
