Question

helper will get a medal!
Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer.

(1, 5) and (-2, 3)
ive already found the slope

Answer 1

use the point-slope form of the equation of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1) (m =slope and (x1,y) is a point on the line)

Answer 2

use any of the given points

Answer 3

just to make sure the slope is 2/3, righ?

Answer 4

finally rearrange to standard form

ax + by = c

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

so if we use the point (1,5) we get

y - 5 = (2/3)( x- 1)

the next step is the divide through by 3 to get rd of the fraction.

Answer 7

can yu continue ?

Answer 8

would it -2x+3y=4? @welshfella

Answer 9

y - 5 = 2/3 (x - 1) * by 3
3y - 15 = 2(x - 1)
3y - 15 = 2x - 2
-2x + 3y = -2 + 15

-2x + 3y = 13

Answer 10

lloks like you did not multiply the -5 by 3

Answer 11

oh okay, thank you!
