Question 21974: Write an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through the given points. (1/2, -1), (-2/3,6)

I just can't seem to get this one right. I used the Y2-Y1 formula but I got it wrong. -----
X2-X1
Thanks!

Well, you got the midpoint formula correct,
%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29
Try plugging them in without skipping any steps.
%286-%28-1%29%29%2F%28%28-2%2F3%29-1%2F2%29%29
7%2F%28-7%2F6%29
highlight%28-6%29
Hope this helps!
