Hi

Write the standard form of the equation of the line through the pair of points (5,-5) and (-6,10). 

Using the point-slope formula, m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29

( 5,-5) and 

(-6,10)  m = -15/11

 



  y = (-15/11)x + b  \using ordered pair Pt(5,-5) to solve for b

 -5 = -75/11 + b

 20/11 = b

  y = (-15/11)x + 20/11  OR 15x + 11y = 20
