Find an equation of the line passing through each pair of points (-5, -6) and (-9, -5).Write the equation in the form Ax+By=C.
**
use point slope formula: (y1-y2)=m(x1-x2)
m=slope=∆y/∆x
=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
=(-5-(-6))/(-9-(-5))
=(-5+6)/(-9+5)
=1/-4
=-1/4
..
using slope and one of given points (-5,-6)
y-(-6)=-1/4(x-(-5))
y+6=(x+5)/-4
-4y-24=x+5
x+4y=-29
