Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7, 5 and (0, 7). Put your answer in fully reduced point slope form
we know that
The equation of a line in point slope form
is equal to
y-y1=m(x-x1)
step 1
Find the slope
m=(7-5)/(0-7)
m=2/-7
m=-2/7
step 2
Find the equation
we have
m=-2/7
(x1,y1)=(0,7)
substitute
y-7=(-2/7)(x-0)
y-7=(-2/7)x -------> equation of the line in point slope form
and
In slope intercept form is equal to
y=(-2/7)x+7
