Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to solve it but didnt get the right answer.
first i found the quation of the line which i found to be y=-(3/4)*x
and then i set x=t (parameter) and insert t into the y equation=-(3/4)*t. 1<t<5
dx=dt;dy=-(3/4)dt
and i used the formula for line integral which is [tex]\int[/tex](2x+y+10)*(dy,-dx)
i subtituted the values for x,y,dx and dt into the above equation and integrated over 5 to 1..
the right answer is 92. i got -9.
