Question

How do you write an equation in standard form for a line which passes through points (-10,-6) and (10,-8)?

Answer 1

x+10y= -70

First we get the slope `(-8+6)/(10+10)= -2/20= -1/10`

Now point-slope form of the line would be y+6=`-1/10`(x+10)

This can now be simplified and put in to standard form.
10y+60= -x-10

x+10y = -70
