Question

Write an equation in standard form for the points (5,1) and (-3,4)?

Answer 1

For a line passing through two points say, A\((x_1,y_1)\) and B\((x_2,y_2)\), the equation is:
\[\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}\]


Can you use this for the points given to you?

Answer 2

\[y -1/ x - 5 = 1 - 4/ 5 - -3 \]

Answer 3

idk how to do the division bar on there

Answer 4

no worries, you can just use brackets.

And yes, that's correct! just simplify it a bit!

Answer 5

how do i simplify it 0.o

Answer 6

Hmm.
\[\frac{y−1}{x−5}=\frac{1−4}{5−(−3)}\]

okay, so what's '1-4' and what's '5-(-3)'?
