Hi, I'm really struggling to solve this problem, I've looked and looked for help, and I can't seem to find anything... here's the problem:
The equation of the line passing through (1,11) and (4,5) can be expressed in the form
\(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1.\)
Find \(a\).
Thanks for your help in advance. :)
+37146 First find the equation of the line slope = 6/-3 = -2
point slope form of the line
y-5 = -2(x-4)
y-5 = 8 - 2x
y+2x = 13 divide by 13
y /13 + x / (13/2) = 1
