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.
You can perform all kind of operation that are one the inverse of the other, so that the value won't change. For example, you can multiply and divide by 2:
Or add and subtract 5:
