Answer:
x + 3y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Line is passing through the points [tex](3, \:4) = (x_1,\:y_1)\:and\: (9, 2)=(x_2,\:y_2)[/tex]
Slope of line (m)= (2 - 4)/(9 - 3) = -2/6 = -1/3
Equation of line in point-slope form is given as:
[tex]y-y_1 =m(x-x_1)[/tex]
Plugging the values of [tex]x_1,\: y_1\: and \: m[/tex] in the above equation we find:
[tex]y-4 =-\frac{1}{3}(x-3)[/tex]
[tex]\implies 3y-12 =-x+3[/tex]
[tex]\implies x+ 3y =12+3[/tex]
[tex]\implies \huge {\orange{\boxed{x+ 3y = 15}}}[/tex]
This is the required equation of line in the form [tex]\red{\bold{ax + by = c}} [/tex]
