Question

A line passes through the points (-4, - 7) and (2, - 15). What is the equation of this line in point-slope form? (1 point)
Y-7=-(4/3)(x-1)
y +7=-(4/3)(x+4)
Y-7=(4/3)(x-4)
Y-7=(4/3)(x+4)

Answer 1

First find the slope: m = (-15 - (-7)) / (2 - (-4)) = -8/6 = -4/3.
Using point (-4, -7): y - (-7) = (-4/3)(x - (-4)) → y + 7 = -(4/3)(x + 4).

So the correct choice is: y + 7 = -(4/3)(x + 4).
