Question

Write an equation of line passes through (3,-2) and(5,-2) in standard form

Answer 1

y +2 = -5/7(x-3)
7y+14 = -5x + 15
5x + 7y -1 = 0

Answer 2

why would it not just be y=-2 since it is a straight line on the negative 2 with no slope

Answer 3

y - y1 + (y2-y1/x2-x1)(x-x1)

Answer 4

what?

Answer 5

it's the two point form...y - y sub 2 = slope (x - x sub 1)

slope = y sub 2 - y sub 1 all over x sub 2 - x sub 1

x sub 1 means the x of your first coordinate
y sub 1 means the y of your first coordinate
x sub 2 means the x of your second coordinate
y sub 2 means the y of your second coordinate

did you get all that?

Answer 6

yes but i still get a slope of 0
