Verified Answer :

y-7=3(x-9) or it could be y=3x-20

Answer:

\(\boxed{\boxed{y-7=3(x-9)}}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are \((9, 7),(4, -8)\)

We can get the line equation passing through these points by applying point slope formula.

The slope of the line joining these two points would be,

\(=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(=\dfrac{-8-7}{4-9}\)

\(=\dfrac{-15}{-5}\)

\(=3\)

The general point slope form of straight line is,

\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

Putting the slope as 3 and the point as (9, 7),

\(y-7=3(x-9)\)
