Answer:

The equation of line passing through points (1 , 4) and (3 , - 4) is                y = - 4 x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A line is passing through points

x_1 , y_1 = 1 , 4

x_2 , y_2 = 3 , - 4

<u>Now, Equation of line in point-slope form is</u>

y -  y_1 = m × (x -  x_1)

where m is the slope of line

∵ m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

i.e m = \dfrac{ ( - 4 ) - 4}{3 - 1}

Or, m = \dfrac{ - 8}{2}

Or, m = - 4

So, The slope of line = m = - 4

∵, equation of line can be written as

y -  y_1 = m × (x -  x_1)

<u>So, Putting the value of slope, m and points ( x_1 , y_1  )</u>

i.e  y - 4 = ( - 4 ) × ( x - 1 )

Or, y - 4 = ( - 4 ) × x + 4

Or, y - 4 = - 4 x + 4

Or, y = - 4 x + 4 + 4

∴    y = - 4 x + 8

So, The equation of line y = - 4 x + 8

Hence, The equation of line passing through points (1 , 4) and (3 , - 4) is       y = - 4 x + 8  Answer
