Answer :
Answer:
[tex]4x+3y=5[/tex]
[tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the points
(-7, 11) and (8, -9)
Find the slope
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
substitute
[tex]m=\frac{-9-11}{8+7}[/tex]
[tex]m=-\frac{20}{15}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]m=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Write the equation in point slope form
[tex]y-y1=m(x-x1)[/tex]
we have
[tex]m=-\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]point\ (-7, 11)[/tex]
substitute
[tex]y-11=-\frac{4}{3}(x+7)[/tex]
Convert to standard form
we have
[tex]y-11=-\frac{4}{3}(x+7)[/tex]
Multiply by 3 both sides
[tex]3y-33=-4x-28\\4x+3y=5[/tex]
Convert to slope intercept form
we have
[tex]y-11=-\frac{4}{3}(x+7)[/tex]
Isolate the variable y
[tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{28}{3}+11[/tex]
[tex]y=-\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
