Question

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

E(-2, 2), F(5, 1)

Answer 1

first use slope point form to determine the equation of a line
that is , y-y1 = m (x-x1)
where m = slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) = points through which the line passes

Answer 2

so how is the equation written (answers please)

Answer 3

m = (1-2)/{5-(-)2}
= -1/7
therefore y-1 = -1/7*(x-5)

Answer 4

you sure?

Answer 5

it cant have fractions

Answer 6

or decimals

Answer 7

now u have to convert above into a standard form
multiply 7 in both sides

Answer 8

\[y-1 = -\frac{ (x-5) }{ 7 }\]
multiply 7 both sides

Answer 9

then rearrange the equation in such a manner that u get this form Ax +By = C (standard form)

Answer 10

@kavin_pitre is it clear to you?
