SOLUTION: Can you help me with this type of equation. Use point-slope form to write the equation of the line passing through the two given points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form

Question 131360: Can you help me with this type of equation. Use point-slope form to write the equation of the line passing through the two given points. Write the equation in slope-intercept form. I do not have a good grasp on this type of math problem. Thank you
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
FIRST YOU NEED TO FIND THE SLOPE
(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
(-3-4)/(0-3)
-7/-3=7/3 IS THE SLOPE (m).
Y=mX+b NOW REPLACE THE X & Y VALUES WITH ONE SET OF VALUES & THE SLOPE=7/3 & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT (b)
4=7*3/3+b
4=7+b
b=4-7
b=-3 THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT.
Y=7X/3-3 IS THIS LINE EQUATION THROUGH THE POINTS (3,4)(0,-3).
