Respuesta :
y – 11 = (x + 7) ... they got this equation by plugging one of your two points into point-slope form ... y - y₁ = m(x - x₁). the other equation that represents the line could involve your second point that they gave you (8, -9).
y + 9 = (x - 8), for example. then you can convert it to slope intercept, y = mx + b format and get a third line:
y + 9 = x - 8 .... subtract 9
y = x - 17
i don't know how many different equations the question wants, but there are two of them for you.

Answer:
3y+4x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the slope
we have
(–7, 11) and (8, –9)
m=(-9-11)/(8+7)
m=-20/15
m=-4/3
step 2
Find the equation of the line into point slope form
we have
m=-4/3
point (-7,11)
substitute
y-11=-(4/3)(x+7) ----> equation of the line into point slope form
Multiply by 3 both sides
3y-33=-4(x+7)
3y-33=-4x-28
3y+4x=33-28
3y+4x=5 -----> equation of the line into standard form
