Write your answer in the form y = mx + b.

Question

Find an equation of the line passing through the point (−3, 1) and through the point of intersection of the lines 2x − y + 1 = 0 and 3x + y − 16 = 0.
Write your answer in the form y = mx + b.

raden · Answer

first, u have to find the solution of systems 2x − y + 1 = 0 and 3x + y − 16 = 0. use elimination or substitution method

anonymous · Answer

i got x=3 And y=7

raden · Answer

yes... now determine a straight line equation which passes through at points
(3,7) and (-3,1)
use the formula : 
(y-y1)/(y2-y1)   = (x-x1)/(x2-x1)

anonymous · Answer

i did all that and got y=x+4 is that my answer

raden · Answer

yeah, i got it like yours
