Question 171331
I've asked for help several times and have not gotten a response, is there any specific reason why my questions are being ignored. 
Write an equation fo the line passing through the given points. 
(3,-12) and (-4,2) 
Can someone be generous enough to help me.

First find the slope with the slope formula:

{{{m=(y[2]-y[1])/(x[2]-x[1])}}}

where {{{x[1]=3}}},{{{y[1]=-12}}}, {{{x[2]=-4}}}, and {{{y[2]=2}}}

{{{ m=( 2-(-12) )/( (-4)-(3) )=( 2+12 )/( -4-3 )= 14/(-7) = -2 }}}

Substitute in the point slope form:

{{{y-y[1]=m(x-x[1])}}}

{{{y-(-12)=(-2)(x-(3))}}}

{{{ y+12=-2(x-3) }}}

{{{ y+12=-2x+6 }}}

{{{y=-2x-6}}}
