Question

Write the equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (4, 4) in standard form.
Answer

x – 3y = –9

3x + y = 9

x – 3y = –8

3x – 3y = –8

Answer 1

x-3y=-8

Answer 2

Notes for this problem:
Slope:
\[m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} given: (x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2) \]
Point-slope form
\[y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), given: (x_1,y_1)\]

Once you have the equation of the line, you only need to move the x and y terms to one side and the constant terms to the opposite side (getting rid of any fractions through multiplication if necessary).
