Use the equation of a straight line $$y-y_{0}=m(x-x_{0})$$ and substitute the values and simplify.

When you are submitting your work, you are required to show the steps, just the answer itself is not sufficient.

I know you've probably heard it enough times but.... Sorry for your losses!!!!!!!:(

imer · Answer

I am sorry that you had to go through that time, but you see some one who is not good in maths does not mean, he/she is "stupid". The thing is, if you knew the concept, it would have not taken a min to find the answer which you wasted on just acquiring the answer. What is the point of studying, when you are not learning. I will not reply after this but please ponder over, and once again I repeat, I did not mean you are "stupid". Wish you a happy life!
