Question

Find the equation of the line that goes through the points (4,−7) and (9,5). Write your

answer in slope intercept form

Answer 1

(4, -7) and (9,5) have a line through them with slope = (5+7)/(9-4)= 12/5 =(y+7)/(x-4)

y+7 = (12/5)(x-4)= (12/5)x - 48/5

y = (12/5)x- 48/5 -35/5

y = (12/5)x - 83/5

y = 2.4x - 16.6 in slope intercept form. slope = 2.4, intercept = 16.6
