The equation of the line passing through points (3,2) and (5,8) in the form of Ax+By=C will be written as follows:
equation of the line is given by the formula:
a(x-x1)=y-y1
where a is the slope
a=(y-y1)/(x-x1)
thus using our values:
a=(8-2)/(5-3)=6/2=3
thus the equation of the line will be:
3(x-3)=y-2
simplifying the above and writing in the form of Ax+By=C we shall have:
3x-9=y-2
3x-y=-2+9
3x-y=7
thus 3x-y=7 is in the form of Ax+By=C where A=3, B=-1 and C=7
