Answer:

y+6=3/2(x+9)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(6-(-6))/(-1-(-9))

m=(6+6)/(-1+9)

m=12/8

simplify

m=3/2

y-(-6)=3/2(x-(-9))

y+6=3/2(x+9)

The equation of the line is y + 6 = 3/2(x+9).

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of the line is defined as the angle of the line. It is denoted by m

Slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )

Consider two points on a line—Point 1 and Point 2. Point 1 has coordinates (x₁,y₁) and Point 2 has coordinates (x₂, y₂)

Given,

The line passes through the points (−9,−6) and (−1,6)

Let

x₁ = -9, y₁ = -6

x₂ = -1, y₂ = 6

∵ Slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁  )

Substitute values in the formula

m = (6-(-6))/(-1-(-9))

m = (6+6)/(-1+9)

m = 12/8

m = 3/2

Let the line  (y - y₁) = m(x -x₁  )

Substitute the values in the equation,

So, y-(-6) = 3/2(x-(-9))

y + 6 = 3/2(x+9)

Hence, the equation of the line is y + 6 = 3/2(x+9).
