Answer:
y - 6 = -7(x + 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move right from (−9,6) to (−7,−8), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 14. Thus, the slope of the line segment connecting the two points is
m = rise / run = -14 / 2, or m = -7.
Arbitrarily selecting the point (-9, 6), we write out the point-slope equation:
y - 6 = -7(x + 9)
.
