Given:

Consider the two points are A(1,1) and B(0,5)​.

To find:

The equation of the line AB.

Solution:

If a line passes through the two points, then the equation of the line is:


y-y_1=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)(x-x_1)

We A(1,1) and B(0,5)​. So, the equation of line AB is:


y-1=(5-1)/(0-1)(x-1)


y-1=(4)/(-1)(x-1)


y-1=-4(x-1)


y-1=-4x+4

Add 1 on both sides, we get


y=-4x+4+1


y=-4x+5

Therefore, the equation of the line AB is
y=-4x+5.
