Q. Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (−1,6) and (1,5).Use exact numbers.y−6=□
Calculate slope: Calculate the slope m of the line using the formula m=x2−x1y2−y1 where (x1,y1)=(−1,6) and (x2,y2)=(1,5).m=1−(−1)5−6=2−1=−21.
Use point-slope form: Use the point-slope form equation y−y1=m(x−x1) with one of the points and the slope. Let's use the point (−1,6).y−6=(−21)(x−(−1)).
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation. y−6=(−21)(x+1).
