Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-7,1) and (7,-6). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.

y-1=-1/2(x+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope first using the slope formula.

y2-y1/x2-x1

-6-1/7--7

-7/14

Slope is -1/2

Now choose one of the coordinates and put it in point-slope form.

y-1=-1/2(x+7)

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
