A line passes through (1, –5) and (–3, 7). a. Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. b. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.

Point-slope form: y + 5 = 13/-4 (x-1)

Slope-intercept form:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so first to find the equation in point-slope form, you need to find the slope. So, the slope would be 7- (-5)/-3-1 , which is 13/-4. That is your slope, or m. Now, for point-slope form, you have the equation y - y1 = 13/-4 (x-x1). Now, you take one of your points, say (1, -5), and you put it into the equation. So your point-slope form equation would be y - (-5) = 13/-4 (x - 1). This would simplify to y + 5 = 13/-4(x - 1).

Now for slope-intercept form, you have m, the slope, which is 13/-4. Substituting that into the equation, you have y = 13/-4x + b. To find b, you substitute one of your coordinates into the equation. For example, (1, -5). Then you have -5 = (13/-4 * 1) +b. Simplify this, and you have b = -5+ 13/-4, which is -20/4 + 13/-4, which is -20/4 - 13/4 = -33/4. So your final equation is y = 13/-4x - 33/4.

Hope that helped.
