Q. Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (−5,7) and (−4,0). Use exact numbers.y−7=
Find the slope: First, we need to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (−5,7) and (−4,0). The slope m is calculated using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1, where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the two points.Let's calculate the slope:m=−4−(−5)0−7m=1−7m=−7
Calculate the slope: Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.We can use either of the two points given, but let's use the point (−5,7) for this equation.So, substituting the slope and the coordinates of the point into the equation, we get:y−7=−7(x−(−5))y−7=−7(x+5)
