Answer:
x-4y =7
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)
= (-3--1)/(-5 -3)
= (-3+1)/(-8)
-2/-8
1/4
Using slope intercept form
y = mx+b
y = 1/4x+b
substituting a point into the equation
-1 = 1/4(3) +b
-1 = 3/4+b
-1 -3/4 =b
-7/4 =b
y = 1/4 x -7/4
Multiply by 4
4y = x-7
subtract x from each side
-x+4y = -7
Multiply by -1
x-4y =7
The standard form of a line is
ax +by =c
where a is a positive integer , b and c are integers
