the slope intercept form of (5/6,-4) and (3/4,-4)

Question

australopithecus · Answer

just use the equation

(y2 - y1)/(x2- x1) = m

y = mx + b

where 
m = slope
b = y-intercept
and
(x,y) is your point

anonymous · Answer

^In addition to that, sub in the slope and either one of those points to find your "b" variable.

anonymous · Answer

Would that make y=0? Because that is incorrect.. I cannot figure out the answer.

anonymous · Answer

Why would you make y = 0? Australopithecus's solution is correct.

anonymous · Answer

(y2 - y1)/(x2- x1) = m
When I plug the numbers into this equation I get 0.

anonymous · Answer

Then your m would equal 0, not your y.

anonymous · Answer

I figured that out. then my y=-4. My mistake! =)

Standard Form of a Linear Equation: The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers, A0, and A and B are not both zero. ----- If y = -4 is the correct equation, then in standard form, 0x + (1) y = -4. http://openstudy.com/study?login#/updates/4f8b4287e4b09e61bffc8324
