Answer:

10x + 5y = 11

Explanation:

I usually find it in slope intercept then convert, it's easier for me.

First you find slope using delta y over delta x giving you -2/5.

so you have y=-2/5x + b

To find b plug in a point and solve down

1 = -2/5(3) +b

1+6/5 = b

b = 11/5

y=-2/5x + 11/5

Then you convert it to Ax+by=C form,

multiply by 5

5y = -10x + 11

move x

10x +5y = 11

Answer:


2x+5y-11 =0

Explanation:

Givens

Coordinates
(3,1) and
(-2,3)

We need to find the equation of the line that passes through those points.

First, we have to find its slope with the following formula


m=(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )

We replace the given points


m=(3-1)/(-2-3)=(2)/(-5)

Now, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation


y-y_(1) =m(x-x_(1) )\\y-1=-(2)/(5)(x-3)\\ y-1=-(2)/(5)x +(6)/(5)\\ y+(2)/(5)x-(6)/(5)-1=0\\(2)/(5)x+y-(11)/(5) =0

But, the standard form is
Ax+By+C=0

So, if we multiply the equation by 5, we would have a better representation


2x+5y-11 =0
