Full solution

Q. complete the equation of the line through (6,6)(6,-6) and (8,8)(8,8)
  1. Calculate Slope: To find the equation of a line, we need to determine the slope mm of the line using the slope formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}, where (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2) are the coordinates of the two given points.\newlineLet's calculate the slope using the points (6,6)(6, -6) and (8,8)(8, 8).\newlinem=8(6)86=142=7m = \frac{8 - (-6)}{8 - 6} = \frac{14}{2} = 7
  2. Use Point-Slope Form: Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.\newlineLet's use the point (6,6)(6, -6) and the slope 77 to write the equation.\newliney(6)=7(x6)y - (-6) = 7(x - 6)
  3. Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the slope and moving 6-6 to the other side of the equation.\newliney+6=7x42y + 6 = 7x - 42\newliney=7x426y = 7x - 42 - 6\newliney=7x48y = 7x - 48
