Solution

The correct option is B

Slope of the line through (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is M $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$

$∴$ required slope = $\frac{(2 + 4)}{- 1 - 3} = \frac{- 3}{2}$

What will be the value of m and $c$ if the straight line $y = m x + c$ passes through the points $(3, - 4)$ and $(- 1, 2)$ ?

Slope of the line passing through the points $(1, 5)$ and $(x, 6)$ is $\frac{1}{2}$ . Then the value of $x$ is

a x + b y + c z - 1 = 0

(4, - 1, 2)

\frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{y - 2}{- 1} = \frac{z + 1}{2}

\frac{x - 2}{1} = \frac{y - 3}{2} = \frac{z - 4}{3},
