Answer:

[tex]x - y + 5 = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Line passes through (-2,3) and (2,7)

Required:

  • Find the equation of the line

The equation of the line passing through two points is given by

[tex]\frac{y-y_{1} }{y_{2}- y_{1} } =\frac{x_{}- x_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

So, [tex]\frac{y-3}{7-3} =\frac{x-(-2))}{2-(-2)}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-3}{4} =\frac{x+2}{2+2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{y-3}{4} =\frac{x+2}{4}[/tex]

Now, [tex]y-3 = x+2[/tex]

On rearranging,

[tex]x - y + 3 + 2 = 0x - y + 5 = 0[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the line is [tex]x - y + 5 = 0.[/tex]
