Question

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and (–12, –9). He writes the equation
7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

what do you think it is

Answer 2

@MadCuzBad how far did you get doing this? What are your thoughts on this?

Answer 3

@MadCuzBad so to check that is right this equation wrote by Devon just substitute these values of coordinates inside this equation in place of x and y and make the calcule to check if the left side will be equal with right side

bc. everybody know that if a line passes trough a point with coordinates (x,y) so this mean that x and y are the roots of equation of this line
