Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line. The line that passes through (-3, 5) and (-2, -6)

Answer 1

The equation in standard form is 11x + y = -28.

Explanation:

Let's start with y = mx + b

5 = -3m + b

-6 = -2m + b

Let's take the second less the first.

m = -11

Plug back in the first equation to calculate b.

5 = 33 + b

b = -28

So y = -11x - 28

11x + y = -28
