$\"slope$ $\"\"$

\

Given points are $\"\"$ .

\

First, find the slope.

\

$\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ 7 for y₂, $\"\"$ 1 for y₁, 6 for x₂, and 4 for x₁ in slope formula.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

You know the slope and a point on the line, so use point - slope form $\"\"$ with either given point to write an equation of line.

\

Choose $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ 1 for y₁, 4 for x₁ and $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply distributive property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction property of equality:If a = b then a $\"\"$ c = b $\"\"$ c.

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 1 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

The equation of line is $\"\"$ .
