Question 416729: find equation for the line, containing the points (4,-8) and (-4,3) ; general form.
Let (x,y) is one point on this line.
the slope is the same for each two points of a straight line:
=
=
Cross multiply





General form ax+by+c=0
a=11 b=8 c=20
and the given points satisfy the equation
