The equation of the line is 16y-25x=14316y25x=143

Explanation:

The equation of line passing through (73,123)(73,123) is y-123=m(x-73)y123=m(x73) where m is the slope; now m=(123-23)/(73-9)=100/64=25/16m=12323739=10064=2516Hence the equation of the line is y-123=25/16(x-73)or 16y-1968=25x-1825 or 16y-25x=143y123=2516(x73)or16y1968=25x1825or16y25x=143[Ans]
