Question 519084: Find the equation of the line in standard form through the points (-3, 9) and (5, 7).
I came up with two different answers and I want to see where I messed up!!
x+4y=33 or x+4y=-33
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

x + 4y = 33 is correct. you can check your solution by putting the value of x and y in equation.
x+4y = (-3) + 4*9 = -3 +36 = 33
so, first is correct, second equation is wrong.
