Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-3, 7) and (9,-1)? oy--3x+5 o y=-x-7 o y=zx-7 oy - 12 2x+5

use the slope equation (y2-y1) / (x2 -x1). plug in values and solve

(-1 -7) / (9 -(-3)) (subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive)

-8 / 12 (simplify)

m = -2/3

then, plug in one of the points and the slope into the slope-point equation.

(y - y1) = m (x - x1) (the point-slope form)

y - 7 = -2/3( x - (-3)) (plug in the slope and point 1 values, then solve)

y - 7 = -2/3x - 2 (add 7 to both sides)

y = 2/3x +5 (the answer)
