Question

Find the equation of the line passing through the points (3, 16) and (8, 18).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!!

We simply use double point formula for the equation of a st.line passing through two points.

So, the points are, (3,6) and (8,18).

Now, using two point formula,

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

Put all values,

`(y - 6) = (18 - 6)/(8 - 3) (x - 3)`

Simplify them.

`(y - 6) = (12 )/(5) (x - 3)`

`5(y - 6) = 12(x - 3)`

`5y - 30 = 12x - 36`

`12x - 5y - 6 = 0`

Therefore the equation is 12x-5y-6=0.

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

The equation is y+2/5x+74/5
