Answer:

y + 1 = 6 (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope form:

(y - y1) = m (x - x1)

To find slope (m), we need to use another formula:

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

m = (-7 - -1) / (5 - 6)

m = -6 / -1

m = 6

hence, the equation of line will be:

y - (-1) = 6(x - 6)

y + 1 = 6 (x - 6)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

              = -7-(-1) / 5-6

              = -6 / -1

              = 6

   Hence the slope of the given points is 6.
