Answer:

d) y - 8 = 7/3(x - 9)

Explanation:

[tex]\sf point-slope\:form :[/tex]

[tex]\sf y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \ \ where \ (x_1, y_1), \ (x_2, y_2) \ are \ points \ and \ m \ the \ slope[/tex]

Find the slope:

[tex]\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points[/tex]

[tex]\sf \rightarrow slope\ (m) : \dfrac{1-8}{6-9} = \dfrac{-7}{-3} = \dfrac{7}{3}[/tex]

Find the equation:

in point slope form:

[tex]\sf y - 8 = \dfrac{7}{3} (x - 9)[/tex]

[tex]\sf y = \dfrac{7}{3} x - 21+8[/tex]

in slope intercept form

[tex]\sf y = \dfrac{7}{3} x -13[/tex]
