please help me I dont know how to solve this type of problem. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
First, use the Two-Point Form of an equation of a line:
where and are the coordinates of the given points.
Then rearrange the results into Standard Form:
using the standard algebraic manipulations of adding equal values to both sides of the equation and multiply both sides of the equation by equal values. Some authors require A, B, and C to be integers with for proper Standard Form, and this is the case here.
