Find an equation in point-slope y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1)) for the line through the given points. (-4,7) and (1,2)
Added by Christy W.
Step 1
The formula for the slope is given by: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-4, 7)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (1, 2)\). Plugging in the values: \[ m = \frac{2 - 7}{1 - (-4)} = \frac{-5}{1 + 4} = \frac{-5}{5} = -1 \] Show more…
