Question

Find the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the points

(2,-3) and (4,2).
A. 5x+2y=16
B. 5x – 2y=16
C. y=5/2x+8
D. 2x – 3y=9

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

To solve for the slope:

(2-(-3))/(4-2)=5/2

y=5/2x+b

plugin points:

2=5/2(4)+b

2=10+b

b=-8

so equation of the line is y=5/2x-8

and in standrd form its 5x-2y=16
