y + 9 = 10(x - 6) is the point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (6, -9) and (7, 1)

Solution:

Given points are:

(6, -9) and (7, 1)

Let us find the slope of line

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

From given,

[tex](x_1, y_1) = (6,-9)\\\\(x_2, y_2) = (7, 1)[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]m = \frac{1+9}{7-6}\\\\m = \frac{10}{1}\\\\m = 10[/tex]

Thus slope of line is 10

The point slope form of line is given as:

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute m = 10 and [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] = (6, -9) in above

[tex]y + 9 = 10(x - 6)[/tex]

Thus the equation of line in point slope form is found
