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.
Aern't you a lazy girl
I don't get it !
Do you know what slope intercept form means?
y=mx+b?
yes
Here do you just want an answer or do you want to know how to get the answer.
can I please just know the answer, I have so much of these stupid things to do :(
k one sec
The equation in standard form is $$y=2x$$
Here you can just plagarise me, I am going to do the written part now
To find the equation of this line, I first need to find the slope, so I divided the difference of the y terms by the difference of the x terms to get a slope of 2.
After this I knew the equation had to be in the form $$y=2x+b$$ So using the point $$(3,6)$$ I solved for b and got $$b=0$$
This is the written part for part #2.
The benefit of writing an equation in standard form, is that you can clearly see where y intersects the x axis, while when you write the equation in slope intercept form you can see the slope and x intercept more easily.
There thats it.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH ! LIFESAVER
