Question

(4,-2) and (8,-9)

Answer 1

Hey,what do you need to do?:)

Answer 2

write an equation in standard form for the line passing through the pair of points

Answer 3

oh,alright. so you know that standard form of a line equation is
\[y=kx+b\] where k and b are 'random' numbers.

Also,you know that point means coordinates and first number in the point is x and the second is y. so it means that your points (4;-2) is x=4 and y=-2 and another point (8;-9) is x=8 and y=-9

so now you can insert those in the place of x and y and you get
\[-2=4k+b\]
\[-9=-8k+b\]

everything would be ok,but it is not a standard form for equation,because instead of k and b there should be numbers.

So you need to solve this system of equation and find b and k.Could you do this for me?
