Find an equation of the line. Write the equation using function notation.
-$( 8 , - 58 ) , ( - 5,33 )$
A) $f ( x ) = - 7 x - 2$
B) $f ( x ) = 7 x - 114$
C) $f ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 7 } x - \frac { 414 } { 7 }$
D) $y = - \frac { 1 } { 7 } x - \frac { 398 } { 7 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the line is $-7$, calculated using the formula $(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$. Using point-slope form with one of the points, the equation simplifies to $f(x) = -7x - 2$.
