16-8 Step-by-Step Examples
Press again to
simplify the result to
Y = 2X+5.
Second method Type:
(-3,-1 )-(-1,3)
The answer is –(2+4i).
With the answer still
selected, apply the ABS
command by pressing
.
Pressing gives , the same answer as with
method 1 above.
You can also determi1ne the equation of the line by
typing:
DROITE(( -1,3), (-3,-1))
Pressing then gives the result obtained before:
Y = –(2X+5).
