Question

write the equation in standard form that passes through (-5,1) and (6,-2)

Answer 1

well standard form is Ax + By = C

Answer 2

but you must first get the slope intercept form which is y = mx + b

Answer 3

then find the y intercept

Answer 4

by plugging in any of the two points

Answer 5

ya find gradient 1st before anythg else

Answer 6

3/5 is the slope

Answer 7

so you have y = 3/5x + b
so if you plug in the point (-5,1) you'll get the equation
1 = 3/5(-5) + b
1 = -3 + b
b = 4
so y = 3/5x + 4 would be the slope intercept form

Answer 8

then you can just change it into standard form

Answer 9

you can change this form into standard form by moving the 3/5x to the other side

Answer 10

so you'll get -3/5x + y = 4
