What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (−2, 3) and (2, 7)?
x − y = −1
x − y = −2
x − y = − 5
x − y = − 6

put the points in the equations given in options
the one which satisfies both is the answer :)

idk how to
imqwerty (imqwerty):
or u can do it like this-
equation of a line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by-
\[\frac{ y-y_{1} }{ y_{2}-y_{1}}=\frac{ x-x_{1} }{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

ok

y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope, once found use y-y1=m(x-x1)

im stuck

are you stuck at the beginning?

ok
so we got the equation lets put (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
\[\frac{ y-3 }{ 7-3 }=\frac{ x- (-2)}{ 2-(-2) }=>\frac{ y-3 }{ 4 }=\frac{ x+2 }{ 4 }\]\[y-3=x+2 =>x-y=-5\]

ok i see it now , i just needed to see how to put it in form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its c?
imqwerty (imqwerty):
yes (:
