Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

E(-2, 2), F(5, 1)

Answer 1

The equation of the line that passes through the given points is ;

7y = -x + 12

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation of the line that passes through the given points

The general equation form

is;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Now, let us substitute the x and y coordinate values of each of the points;

for (-2,2); we have

2 = -2m + b

b = 2m + 2 •••••(i)

for F;

1 = 5m + b

b = 1-5m ••••••(ii)

Equate both b

1-5m = 2m + 2

1-2 = 2m + 5m

7m = -1

m = -1/7

Recall;

b = 2m + 2

b = 2(-1/7) + 2

b = -2/7 + 2

b = (-2 + 14)/7 = 12/7

The equation of the line is thus;

y = -1/7x + 12/7

Multiply through by 7

7y = -x + 12
