Question

The points (2 , 5) (3 ,3) and (4, 1) all lie in a straight line. Find the equation of the line FAST! i am in trouble

Answer 1

Answer:

First make a graph then check at which point the line cuts x and you axis and with the help of that you will be able to find answers

Answer 2

In two points (2, 5) and (3, 3):

• x increment = 1
• y increment = -2

This means the slope is 1/-2 which is -1/2.

---

Since the line passes (4, 1):

The line is y-1 = -1/2 *(x-4)

Multiply by 2, 2y-2=-x+4

Simplifies into x+2y-6=0

---

Therefore, the line is x+2y-6=0
