See below
Explanation:
The method is called Two point form ( At least in my school )
The method is
let
3 =
-5 =
5 =
4 =
To find an equation passing through these two points,
Where y and x are all the points on the equation, that has to be found out.
Now plugging in the values,
Explanation:
Begin by finding the slope via the slope formula:
If we let,
Then,
Now that we have the slope, we can find the equation of the line by using the point-slope formula:
Where
Thus, the equation of the line is...
We can rewrite the equation above in
