Question 3
Find the equation of the line joining (-2,4) and (3,7)

y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying,

The equation of a line in two point form

(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = (y-y₁)/(x-x₁) Equation 1

From the question,

Given: y₂ = 7, y₁ = 4, x₂ = 3, x₁ = -2

Substitute these values into equation 1

(7-4)/[3-(-2)] = (y-4)/(x+2)

3/5 = (y-4)/(x+2)

5(y-4) = 3(x+2)

5y-20 = 3x+6

5y = 3x+6+20

5y = 3x+26

y = (3/5)x+26/5

Hence the equation of the line is y = (3/5)x+26/5 or 5y = 3x+26
