Answer:

slope = $\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 4)

m= $\frac{4+5}{4+6}$ = $\frac{9}{10}$

What is the equation of this line in standard form? (-4, -1) & (1/2, 3)

BabaBlast [244]

bearing in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{\frac{1}{2}}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{(-1)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{\frac{1}{2}}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}}\implies \cfrac{3+1}{\frac{1}{2}+4}\implies \cfrac{4}{~~\frac{9}{2}~~}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}\cdot \cfrac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{8}{9}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{8}{9}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}]\implies y+1=\cfrac{8}{9}(x+4) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{9}}{9(y+1)=9\left( \cfrac{8}{9}(x+4) \right)}\implies 9y+9=8(x+4)\implies 9y+9=8x+32 \\\\\\ 9y=8x+23\implies -8x+9y=23\implies 8x-9y=-23$
