Step-by-step explanation:
Students are asked to write in the standard form.
Now, in the standard form of a polynomial the highest power of the variable takes the leftmost position and the lowest power of the variable takes the rightmost position and the power of variable decreases from left to right.
Therefore, the standard form will be . (Answer)
You can start with the form
∆y(x -x1) -∆x(y -y1) = 0
Here, we have
∆y = 11-(-3) = 14
∆x = -3-1 = -4
and we can choose (x1, y1) = (1, -3). This gives
14(x -1) -(-4)(y -(-3)) = 0
14x +4y -2 = 0
All these terms have a common factor of 2 that we can remove. Adding 1 to the result puts it in standard form:
7x +2y = 1
∆y(x -x1) -∆x(y -y1) = 0
Here, we have
∆y = 11-(-3) = 14
∆x = -3-1 = -4
and we can choose (x1, y1) = (1, -3). This gives
14(x -1) -(-4)(y -(-3)) = 0
14x +4y -2 = 0
All these terms have a common factor of 2 that we can remove. Adding 1 to the result puts it in standard form:
7x +2y = 1
