Question

Find an equation of the line described below. Write the equation in slope intercept form( solved for y) when possible through (8,5) and (5,8)

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{8}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{8}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{8}}} \implies \cfrac{ 3 }{ -3 } \implies - 1`

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{- 1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{8}) \\\\\\ y-5=-x+8\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=-x+13 \end{array}}`
