The ordered pairs (5,-6) and (-7,9) are points on the graph of a linear equation. Graph the line containing these points.
Point-slope form: m(x-h)=(y-k), where h is any valid value of x, k is any valid value of y, and m is the slope
Plug in: m(5-(-7)=(-6-9)
simplify: 12m=-15
simplify: m=-5/4
one answer: point-slope form: -5/4(x-5)=y+6
slope intercept form(if needed): y=mx+b
plug in: -6=-5/4(5)+b
simplify: b=1/4
another answer: slope intercept form: y=-5/4x + 1/4
The question just said to drae the line.
All you have to do is plot the 2 points and draw the line that joins them.
