Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (–3, 7) and (9, –1)?

The equation of the line that passes through the points and is .

Further explanation:

The linear equation with slope m and intercept c is given as follows.

The formula for slope of line with points and can be expressed as,

Given:

The passes through the points are and .

Explanation:

The line passes the points that are and .

The slope of the line can be obtained as follows.

The slope of the line is m =  .

The line passes through the point .

Substitute 9 for x, for m and -1 for y in equation y = mx + c to obtain the value of c.

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points and is .
