Question

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

Answer 1

To find the equation for the line, we substitute (1, 5) and (-2, 3) into (y - y1)/(x - x1) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Therefore y - 5/x - 1 = 3 - 5/-2 - 1
y - 5/x - 1 = -2/-3
y - 5 = (2/3)(x-1)
y = 2/3(x) - 2/3 + 5
y = (2/3)(x) -2/3 + 15/3
y = 2/3(x) + 13/3
3y = 2x + 13
