<PRE><B>Question 173789</B>
you are correct in the formula it is y-k=m(x-h) where m is the slope and (h,k) is any point on the line.
:
But first we must find the slope which is change in y over change in x.
:
m=(-5-10)/(9-3)=-15/6={{{highlight(-5/2)}}}
:
lets use (9,-5)as our point
:
y-(-5)=(-5/2)(x-9)
:
y+5=(-5/2)x+45/2....lets multiply all terms by 2
:
2y+10=-5x+45
:
{{{highlight(5x+2y=35)}}}</PRE>
