Question

How do you write the standard form of a line given (12, -2) and (14, -2)?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Because the `y` term in each point is the same we know this is a horizontal line with an equation of;

`y = -2`

The standard form of a linear equation is: `color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)`

Where, if at all possible, `color(red)(A)`, `color(blue)(B)`, and `color(green)(C)`are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

Therefore, the standard for of the equation for this line is:

`color(red)(0)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(-2)`
