Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 5) and (-2, 3)

anonymous · Answer

use the rule:
y2-y1=m(x2-x1)

Could you explain more?

(1, 5) and (-2 , 3)

x1 ,y1        x2  y2

Got it ?

anonymous · Answer

ax+by=c is the standard form. So do as told^^ and then write your answer in the form I wrote.

anonymous · Answer

That is up to the learner...If they can't do it then I will assist further. I just don't give out answers.

Ok, @crisscross, find the slope of the line first using the given points and the equation $$(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)$$
and then pick any (x,y) point from the two that you have and do 
$$(y-5)= slope \times (x-1)$$
This will give you your answer in the form of y=mx+c.
So just move mx to the left hand side of the equation to have it in standard form.

@Eyad Math never gives me trouble mate.

anonymous · Answer

I dont think you are getting my point here. STANDARD FORM is what they want. y=mx+c is not the standard form.

anonymous · Answer

No it is not, that's in slope intercept form
