Q15 of 169 Page 667

Find the slope and the equation of the line passing through the points:

(5, 3) and ( - 5, - 3)


The slope of the equation can be calculated using




Now using two point form of the equation of a line




3x - 15 - 5y + 15 = 0


3x - 5y = 0


So, required equation of line is 3x - 5y = 0.
