Question

Find the equation of the line that passes through the folloeing two points:
1.(-5,10) and (-3,4)

Answer 1

Answer:

equation of the line passes through the points (-5,10) , (-3,4)

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

here x1= -5,y1=10.

x2= -3,y2=4

(x+5)/(-3+5)=(y-10)/(4-10)

=> (x+5)/2=(y-10)/-6

=> (x+5)=(y-10)/-3

=> -3(x+5)=y-10

=> -3x-15-y+10=0

=> -3x-y-5=0

=> 3x+y+5=0

this is the equation of the line
