Question- Find the general form of the equation of the line that passes through (-9,-5) and (2,3)
The right answer is 8x-11y=-17
This is the answer that I get when I do it 8x-11y=17
I don't know why I am getting a postive 17 when it is -17 helpppp

Slope=8/11 using formula y-y1=m(x-x1) i got y=8/11x+17/11 then i changed it into standard form and got 8x-11y=17
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But the right answer is -17 instead of positive 17
Nnesha (nnesha):
oaky so |dw:1424035591385:dw|this is ur equation in slope intercept form right
