Question

Find the slope and the equation of the line passing through the points: (i) (3, - 2) and ( - 5, - 7)

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Slope of equation can be calculated using

Now using two point form of the equation of a line

8y + 16 = 5x - 15

5x - 8y - 16 - 15 = 0

5x - 8y - 31 = 0

So, required equation of line is 5x - 8y - 31 = 0.
