Question

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,5) and (-7,4)?

Answer 1

13y= x + 59

Explanation:

gradient= y² - y¹ / x²- x¹

=5 - 4 / 6- -7

= 1/ 13

equation of line: y=mx+c

x y

point (6,5)

substitute:

5= 1 (6) + c

13

c = 5 - 6

13

= 59

13

y=mx+c

13y= 1x + 59
