Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 1) and (3, 4)

hero · Answer

1. Find the slope, m
2. input one of the points (x,y) along with m into the formula y = mx+b
3. solve for b
4. re-write the formula y = mx + b and insert the values you found for m and b into it.

anonymous · Answer

m=3/2
and then like... y=3/2(1)+b 
and then I get stuck... :(

hero · Answer

To substitute m = 3/2 and point (1,1): 

y = mx + b
1 = 3/2(1) + b

hero · Answer

What did you get for b?

anonymous · Answer

would b be -1/2?

anonymous · Answer

-1/2+3/2=1?

hero · Answer

yes

hero · Answer

So what do you get for the final result?

anonymous · Answer

I think it's -1/2+3/2=1 maybe?

hero · Answer

The final form has to be  y = mx + b, with only values for m and b included.

anonymous · Answer

idk...D:

hero · Answer

y = 3/2x - 1/2

Notice that only values for m and b have been included. x and y stay remain as variables.
