Answer:
5x -y = -37
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:
A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5
B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1
Then the constant C can be found using either point.
5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37
The equation of the line is ...
5x -y = -37
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.
The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.
