Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,7) and (8,6). Put
your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal line.

Sagot :

y=-1/4x+8

First find the slope

Slope= y-y1/x-x1

So (6-7)/(8-4) = -1/4

Now take that slope and use one of the points and plug them into the point slope formula to solve for your y intercept.

Point slope formula: y=mx+b

So 7=-1/4(4)+b OR 6=-1/4(8)+b

Either way you’ll get b=8!

Put em together and you get: y=-1/4x+8

Ps you can double check your answer by plugging in one or both of the points into your equation to see if it works :)

Answer:

y - 7 =  [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find Slope: m = [tex]\frac{y_{2-}y_{1} }{x_{2-}x_{1} }[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{6-(7)}{8-(4)}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex]

Point Slope Form: y - [tex]y_{1}[/tex] = m ( x - [tex]x_{1}[/tex] )

y - 7 = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] (x - 4)
