The equation from two points (5,1) and (3,5) is 2x+y-11=0 by calculating slope from the points.

What is equation?

An equation is a relationship between variables expressed in equal to form.

How to form equation?

We have been given two points (5,1) and (3,5) and we are required to form an equation. The standard form of an equation is y=mx+c but from two points it is formed as:

y-1=5-1/3-5(x-5)

y-1=4/-2(x-5)

y-1=-2(x-5)

y-1=-2x+10

2x+y-11=0

Hence the equation from two points (5,1) and (3,5) is 2x+y-11=0.
