Q. Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (1,6)(-1,6) and (1,5)(1,5). Use exact numbers.\newliney6=y-6=
  1. Calculate slope using formula: Calculate the slope mm of the line using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, where (x1,y1)=(1,6)(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 6) and (x2,y2)=(1,5)(x_2, y_2) = (1, 5).\newlineCalculation: m=561(1)=12m = \frac{5 - 6}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{-1}{2}
  2. Write point-slope form equation: Write the point-slope form equation using one of the points and the slope. We'll use the point (1,6)(-1, 6).\newlineCalculation: y6=(12)(x(1))y - 6 = \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)(x - (-1))
  3. Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation.\newlineCalculation: y6=(12)(x+1)y - 6 = \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)(x + 1)
