Write the equation in the form Ax + By = C. Find an equation of a line passing through the pair of points (-7,3) and (-8,-9).

Answer:
12x -y = -87
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line and manipulate it to give you the standard form.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (-9 -3)/(-8 -(-7))(x -(-7)) +3
y = (-12/-1)(x +7) +3
y = 12x +84 +3
-12x +y = 87 . . . . . subtract the x-term
12x -y = -87 . . . . . . make the leading coefficient positive (per standard form)

We wrote it in the form dy/dx = g(x) f(y) so this is separable.
