Question

Find the equation in general form of the line (5,-4) (-4,3)

Answer 1

Ax+By=C

Answer 2

find the slope of the line
find the intercept
put i the form y = mx +b
done

Answer 3

\[y = -(7 x)/9-1/9\]

Answer 4

What if none of the answers are fractions?

Answer 5

Then it would be:
\[7 x+9 y+1 = 0\]

Answer 6

7x+9y=-1 or 9x+7y=-1 or 5x-4y=0 or -4x+3y=0 which of these would be the answer?

Answer 7

first

Answer 8

why is it -1?

Answer 9

7x+9y+1=0
convert it in Ax+By=C form:
7x+9y=-1

Answer 10

Oh, ok! May I ask how you got the answer?

Answer 11

Like the process

Answer 12

AS duke already explained:
find slope, m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Put it in y=mx+c
then put any one co-ordinate (x1,y1) or (x2,y2) in this equation, you will get c.
Put back value of c in equation, you will get
y=-(7x)/9 -1/9
Re-arrange this equation into standard form:Ax+ By=C
you will have 7x+9y=-1

Answer 13

when we try and find the slope, we come up with -7/9

Answer 14

correct

Answer 15

what numbers do we use to plug it in?
