Q. Complete the equation of the line through (9,7) (-9,7) and (6,3) (-6,-3) . Use exact numbers.\newliney= y=
  1. Calculate Slope: To find the equation of a line, we need to determine the slope mm of the line using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two given points.\newlineLet's calculate the slope using the points (9,7)(-9,7) and (6,3)(-6,-3):\newlinem=376(9)m = \frac{-3 - 7}{-6 - (-9)}\newlinem=103m = \frac{-10}{3}\newlinem=103m = -\frac{10}{3}
  2. Use Point-Slope Form: Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.\newlineLet's use the point (9,7)(-9,7) and the slope 103-\frac{10}{3} to write the equation:\newliney7=(103)(x(9))y - 7 = (-\frac{10}{3})(x - (-9))\newliney7=(103)(x+9)y - 7 = (-\frac{10}{3})(x + 9)
  3. Distribute Slope: Next, we distribute the slope 103-\frac{10}{3} across the terms in the parentheses:\newliney7=(103)x(103)(9)y - 7 = \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)x - \left(\frac{10}{3}\right)(9)\newliney7=(103)x30y - 7 = \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)x - 30
  4. Solve for y: Finally, we add 77 to both sides of the equation to solve for yy: \newliney=(103)x30+7y = \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)x - 30 + 7\newliney=(103)x23y = \left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)x - 23
