Equate the straight line through these points: E (7: 0) F (-1: 0)

We have two points: E (7; 0) and F (-1; 0).

Let’s find the equation of the straight line passing through these two points.

You can immediately call the equation a straight line, but let’s analyze it in order.

The equation of the straight line is: y = k * x + b. Substitute the coordinates of the known points:

0 = 7 * k + b;

0 = -k + b;

Expressing the b values:

b = -7 * k;

b = k;

The left sides are equal – let’s equate the right ones:

k = -7 * k;

8 * k = 0;

k = 0.

If k = 0, then b = 0.

We get the equation of the straight line y = 0.
