Question

What is the equation for the points (-3,1) and (9,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of line with given points is 2Y - X - 5 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are ( - 3 , 1)   and   (9 , 7)

Equation of line is y = mx +c

where m is the slop of line

Now m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Or,    m = $\frac{7 - 1}{9 + 3}$

so, slop = $\frac{6}{12}$

∴   slop = $\frac{1}{2}$

Now the equation of line with points ( -3 , 1) and slop m is :

Y - y1 = m ( X - x1)

Or, Y - 1 =  $\frac{1}{2}$ (X + 3)

Or, 2Y - X - 5 = 0

Hence The equation of line with given points is 2Y - X - 5 = 0 Answer
