Question

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points. Include your work in your final answer. Type your answer in the box provided or use the upload option to submit your solution (-8,0) and (1,5)

Answer 1

The standard form is given as Ax+By =C

we are given points (-8,0) and (1,5)

let us first find the slope here

$slope = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

$slope = \frac{5-0}{1-(-8)}$

slope=5/9

now using the equation (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

(y-0)=5/9(x+8)

9y=5x+40

9y-5x=40 is the standard form of the line that passes through given points
