Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line through the given points.

P(0, -4), Q(5, 1)

Answer 1

first find slope.

Answer 2

first find slope (m).\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
equation of line:
\[(y-y _{1})=m(x-x _{1)}\]
assume:
\[(x _{1},y _{1})\] (0,-4)
........................................
\[(x _{2},y _{2})\] (5,1)
