Question

Write the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through the given points (5,3) and (8,-2)

Answer 1

y+5/3x=34/3

Explanation:

y=mx+b

3=5m+b

-2=8m+b (system of equations, subtract them)

5=-3m

-5/3=m

3=5m+b

3=5(-5/3)+b

3=-25/3+b

9/3+25/3=b

34/3=b

y=-5/3x+34/3

y+5/3x=34/3
