Answer: y-9 = 17(x + 7)
====================================
Work Shown:
m = Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (9-(-8))/(-7-(-8))
m = (9+8)/(-7+8)
m = 17/1
m = 17
Point slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Plug in the slope m = 17, along with the point (x1,y1) = (-7, 9) to get the following
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 9 = 17(x - (-7))
y - 9 = 17(x + 7)
