Accepted Solution
A:
The generic equation of the line is: y-yo = m (x-xo) Where, m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) m = (1-6) / (- 6-6) m = (- 5) / (- 12) m = 5/12 We choose an ordered pair: (xo, yo) = (6, 6) Substituting values: y-6 = (5/12) (x-6) y = (5/12) x - 2.5 + 6 y = (5/12) x + 3.5 y = (5/12) x + 7/2 Answer: the equation of the line is: y = (5/12) x + 7/2
