SOLUTION: The equation of the st. line passing through (5,2) and (-7, 3) is
{{{(y-2)/(3-2)}}} = {{{(x-5)/(-7-5)}}}
Cross multiplying
(x-5) = -12(y-2)
Expressing y in terms of x
y = {{{-

: The equation of the st. line passing through (5,2) and (-7, 3) is =
Cross multiplying
(x-5) = -12(y-2)
Expressing y in terms of x
y = + 2 = -x +
