Question

Find the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the specified points.

Answer 1

(-2,8) and (5,6)

Answer 2

-7y-2x+52

Answer 3

Is that the answer?

Answer 4

Is that the answer or were you just setting up the problem?

Answer 5

2x + 7y = 52

The Standard Form for a linear equation in two variables, x and y, is usually given as
Ax + By = C
where, if at all possible, A, B, and C are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1.

Answer 6

So that is the form you put it in... then you solve from there?

Answer 7

The answer to your question is 2x + 7y = 52.
It's in standard form.

Answer 8

Oh well thank you! Do you think you can show me how you got the answer?
