Question

Write an equation of the line in point-slope form that passes through (7, 2) and (2, 12). Use the first point when writing your equation.

Answer 1

slope = m = "rise over run" or the change in y divided by change in x coordinates

= (12-2)/(2-7) = 10/-5 = -2

y-2= (-2)(x-7) where -2 = m = slope. point is (7,2)
