Question

How do you write the equation of the line in the form AX+BY=C if m= 1/2, P (6,1)?

Answer 1

Assuming that m is the slope we have that

`y=mx+b=>y=1/2x+b` Hence point P(6,1) is on the line we have that

`1=1/2*6+b=>1=3+b=>b=-2` so the equation is `y=1/2x-3` or

`2y=x-3=>(-1)*x+2*(y)=-3` hence A=-1 , B=2 ,C=3
