Find the equation in standard form of the line passing through the points (2, negative 3) and (4, 2) A.5x-2y=16
B.2x-3y=9
C. y=5/2x+8
D.5x+2y=16

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 + 3)/(4 - 2)= 5/2

y + 3 = 5/2(x - 2)

y + 3 = 5/2x - 5

y = 5/2x - 8

2y = 5x - 16

5x - 2y = 16

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
