Question

What is the equation of the line with slope `m= 7/4` that passes through `(12,18)`?

Answer 1

Equation of the line is `7 x-4 y= 12`

Explanation:

The equation of line passing through `(12,18)` having slope of

`m=7/4` is `y-y_1=m(x-x_1)`

`:. y-18=7/4(x-12) or 4 y-72 = 7 x -84`. or

`7 x-4 y= 12`. Therefore, equation of the line is

`7 x-4 y= 12` [Ans]
