How can I find the line passing through the points (7,16) and (2,-4)

We can solve for the line in point-slope form:

where is some point the line passes through and m is the slope.

First, to find the equation of any line, we need to find the slope. We can use the following formula to solve for the slope.

where and are two different points that the line passes through.

Let's use the points we are given, (7,16) and (2,-4)

The line has a slope of 4, m=4.

Now we can put the value of m=4 into the following equation:

However, we still need a value for and . To determine their values, you can choose any of the two points. I'll be using (7,16).

Thus, and . Inserting these values, along with the value for m, into the point-slope form equation gives us:

This should be the equation of the line passing through points (7,16) and (2,-4).

If you need the line in any of the other forms, such as

just use the point-slope form equation I gave and change it so it resembles the form you need. If you need any help with that, I'd be happy to assist you.

Welcome to and happy studying!
