Question

What is the equation of the line passing through `(12,-3)` and `(-8,2)`?

Answer 1

** The equation of the line is* * `y=-1/4x`

Explanation:

Slope of the line is `m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(2+3)/(-8-12)=5/-20=-1/4`
The equation of the line passing through`(12,-3)`is `y-(-3)=-1/4(x-12)or y+3=-1/4x+3 or y=-1/4x`Check: in `(-8,2) 2= -1/4*(-8) or 2=2:.`The equation of the line is `y=-1/4x`[Ans]
