Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (−5,−7) and (-3,3). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Answer 1

If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points, the slope (m) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Here (x1,y1) is (-5,-7) and (x2,y2) is (-3,3). Compute the slope (m) plugging these values into the above formula.

Point slope equation is (y-y1) = m(x-x1).

plug m, x1 and y1 into the above equation.
