What is an equation in point-slope form of the line that passes through (-7, 1) and (-3, 9)?

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = Gradient

m = y - y1 / x - x1

Where:

(-7, 1) = (x, y)

(-3,  9) = (x1, y1)

m = (1 - 9) /( -7 + 3)

m = -8/- 4

m = 2

Inputing this into our point slope form equation : y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We have:

y - 9 = 2(x + 3)

Therefore, Option D is the correct option
