Question

How do you write the equation of a line given (-3,5) (3,-3)?

Answer 1

The equation of the line is `y= -4/3x+1`

Explanation:

The slope is `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)= (-3-5)/(3+3)=-8/6=-4/3`
The equation of the line is `y-y_1 =m(x-x_1)or y-5=-4/3(x-(-3))or y-5= -4/3(x+3) or y=5-4/3(x+3) or y= -4/3x+1`[Ans]
