Answer:
2x + 3y = -13
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first find the equation of the line in point-slope form. The slope of the line is given by [tex](y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)[/tex], which is (-5-(-3))/(1-(-2)), or -2/3. The equation for a line in point-slope form is [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is a point on the line -- in this case, we may use (1, -5). Therefore, the equation for the line is y + 5 = -2/3 (x-1).
The question asks for the equation of the line in standard form -- which is [tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]. We can get this by simplifying the equation above to get[tex]2x+3y=-13[/tex].
