\"slope\"\"

\

Given points are \"\"

\

Next, 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: \"\")\"\"

\

\"\"   (Subtract 1 from each side)

\

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

\

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

\

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

\

The equation of line is \"\".
