TopicStraight Lines & Coordinate Geometry
TypeEquation of line through two points
DifficultyEasy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of finding gradient from two points (m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) = 20/4 = 5) then using y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) to find c. It's a standard C1 textbook exercise requiring only routine calculation with no problem-solving or conceptual challenge, making it easier than average.
Spec1.03a Straight lines: equation forms y=mx+c, ax+by+c=0

2 Find the equation of the line passing through \(( - 1 , - 9 )\) and \(( 3,11 )\). Give your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\).

2 Find the equation of the line passing through $( - 1 , - 9 )$ and $( 3,11 )$. Give your answer in the form $y = m x + c$.
