What is the equation of a line, which passes through the points (–1, 1) and (2, –4).

1. 5x + 3y + 2 = 0
2. –5x + 3y + 4 = 0
3. 3x + 5y + 6 = 0
4. 5x + 3y + 3 = 0

Correct Option: A

Equation of required line be

y − y₁	=	x − x₁
y₂ − y₁	=	x₂ − x₁

y − 1	=	x + 1
–4 − 1	=	2 + 1

3y – 3 = –5x – 5
5x + 3y + 2 = 0
