Algebra.Com's Answer #481307 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Using equation for slope (m) \n" ); document.write( "m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 \n" ); document.write( "m = -4 - 0/3 - 1 \n" ); document.write( "m = -4/2 \n" ); document.write( "m = -2 \n" ); document.write( "Using Equation y = mx + c \n" ); document.write( "with coordinates (3, - 4) \n" ); document.write( "y = mx + c \n" ); document.write( "-4 = -2(3) + c \n" ); document.write( "-4 = -6 + c \n" ); document.write( "c = -4 + 6 \n" ); document.write( "c = 2 \n" ); document.write( "Equation of line = \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 2. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
