To function form. - 7X - 4Y = 16 - 4Y = 7X + 16 Y = - 7/4X - 4 ------------------------ The slope is, - 7/4 --------
16
If you mean points of (1, 6) and (-5, -7) the slope works out as 13/6
Let (x1, y1) = (-1, -6) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 10). Then the slope,m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (10 - -6)/(-2 - -1) = 16/-1 = -1/16.So that the point-slope form of the equation of the given line is:(y - y1) = m(x - x1)(y - -6) = (-1/16)(x - -1)(y + 6) = (-1/16)(x + 1)
16 + 2x = 10 + 8x 2x - 8x = 10 - 16 -6x = -6 x = 1 Check: 16 + 2(1) = 10 + 8(1) 18 = 18
