Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 1) and (3, 4)

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

To substitute m = 3/2 and point (1,1):

y = mx + b
1 = 3/2(1) + b

Answer 4

What did you get for b?

Answer 5

would b be -1/2?

Answer 6

-1/2+3/2=1?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

So what do you get for the final result?

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

idk...D:

Answer 12

y = 3/2x - 1/2

Notice that only values for m and b have been included. x and y stay remain as variables.
