Question

What linear equations passes through points (2, 0) and (5, -3)?

Answer 1

y=2-x.

Explanation:

1) if x1, x2, y1, y2 are coordinates of the given points, then it is possible to make up the required equation according to the rule:

`(x-x1)/(x2-x1) =(y-y1)/(y2-y1);`

2) according to the rule described above:

`(x-2)/(2-5) =(y-0)/(0+3); \ = > \ (x-2)/(-3) =(y)/(3); \ = > \ y=2-x.`
