Question 930246: Write an equation in standard form for a line that passes through (-3,-5) and (4,5)? Please Explain
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
slope = m = dy/dx
m = (5+5)/(4+3)
m = (10/7)
---
point-slope form:
y - 5 = (10/7)(x - 4)
y - 5 = (10/7)x - 4(10/7)
y = (10/7)x - (40/7) + 5
y = (10/7)x - (40/7) + 35/7
y = (10/7)x - (5/7)
---
answer:
standard form:
(10/7)x - y = 5/7
