Question
Find the general form of the equation of the line passing through the two points.$\left(-\frac{7}{3}, 8\right),\left(\frac{5}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$
Step 1
The slope \(m\) of a line through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] Substituting the given points: \[ m = \frac{\frac{1}{2} - 8}{\frac{5}{2} + \frac{7}{3}} \] Show more…
