Question

Write the equation of the line containing the points (3, 6) and (7, - 2) in standard form.

Answer 1

y=-2x+12

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y = mx + c \\ 6 = 3m + c...(1) \\ - 2 = 7m + c...(2) \\ subtract \: (2) - (1) \\ 4m = - 8 \\ \therefore \: m = - 2 \: sub \: in \: (1) \\ 6 = 3( - 2) + c \\ \therefore \: c = 12 \\ \boxed{y = - 2x + 12}`
