QuestionFind the standard form equation of the line through points and .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given two points and . We are to find the equation of the line in standard form that passes through these points
STEP 2
The slope of a line passing through two points and is given by the formula
STEP 3
Substitute the given points into the slope formula
STEP 4
Calculate the slope
STEP 5
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by , where is the slope and is the y-intercept.
STEP 6
Substitute the calculated slope and the point (which gives us the y-intercept) into the slope-intercept form
STEP 7
To convert the equation from slope-intercept form to standard form, we want to eliminate the fractions and have the x and y terms on the left side of the equation. Multiply every term by2 to eliminate the fraction
STEP 8
Rearrange the equation to standard form (Ax + By = C):
This is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the points and .
