Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to find the equation of the line, in standard form and slope-intercept form, passing through (3, 6) and (-2, -4). Also compare the benefits of writing an equation in standard form to the benefits of writing an equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

im jsut gonna tell u ur standard form is simply y=ax+b
ur slope form is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=a
the slope form doesnt give u the b value which is ur y intercept or initial value. :) can u do the problem now? :)

Answer 2

how do I still do the standard form

Answer 3

alright well
u still have to calculate the slope using that equation which is the slope form :P
then take either pt and plug it in with ur a to solve for b and tada :D

Answer 4

ur a will b 2 :)
(6- -4)/(3- -2)=2
y=ax+b
6=2*3+b
b=0 :)

Answer 5

Ok so how do I write the equation for that?

Answer 6

well
y=2x+0= y=2x :)

Answer 7

How do I do it with slope intercept form
