Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+7y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

(-2,2)(5,1)

slope(m) = (1 - 2) / (5 - (-2) = -1 / 7

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/7
use either of ur points....(5,1)....x = 5 and y = 1
now sub and find b, the y int
1 = -1/7(5) + b
1 = -5/7 + b
1 + 5/7 = b
7/7 + 5/7 = b
12/7 = b

equation is : y = -1/7x + 12/7....but we need it in standard form...

y = -1/7x + 12/7
1/7x + y = 12/7
x + 7y = 12 <== standard form
