Question:medium

The equation of the line passing through the points $(1, 2)$ and $(-1, 4)$ is:

Show Hint

Always verify the final equation by substituting both points. If both satisfy the equation, it is correct.
  • $x + y = 3$
  • $x + y = 4$
  • $2x + y = 4$
  • $x + 2y = 3$
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Find slope
Given points: \[ (1,2), \quad (-1,4) \] \[ m = \frac{4 - 2}{-1 - 1} = \frac{2}{-2} = -1 \]

Step 2: Use point-slope form
Using point \((1,2)\): \[ y - 2 = -1(x - 1) \] \[ y - 2 = -x + 1 \]

Step 3: Rearrange
\[ x + y = 3 \] Thus, the required equation is: \[ {x + y = 3} \]
