Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(-3, -7), (9, -7)
Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
Slope = 4, passing through (-3, 7)
Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
Slope = 6/7, passing through (8, 7)
==========================================
Do them like this. The slope is given, you don't have to do that part.
---------
Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points.
(3,-5), (-9,-8)
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = -3/-12 = 1/4
Use y = mx + b and either point to find b
-5 = (1/4)*3 + b
b = -23/4
--> y = x/4 - 23/4
