Question

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (8, 4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 5y = 36 in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

m = $\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }$

y - $y_{1}$ = m( x - $x_{1}$ )

~~~~~

(3, 6)

(8, 4)

m = $-\frac{2}{5}$

y - 6 = $-\frac{2}{5}$ ( x - 3 )

y = $-\frac{2}{5}$ x + $\frac{36}{5}$ in slope-intercept form

2x + 5y = 36 in standard form
