The equation of the line is 3x + y = 1
How to determine the equation of the line?
The points are given as:
(5, −2) and (3, 4)
Start by calculating the slope (m)
m =(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
This gives
m = (4 + 2)/(3 - 5)
Evaluate
m = -3
The equation is then calculated as:
y = m(x - x1) + y1
This gives
y = -3(x + 2) +5
So, we have:
y = -3x - 6 + 5
Evaluate the like terms
y = -3x - 1
Rewrite as:
3x + y = 1
Hence, the equation of the line is 3x + y = 1
