Question

What are the values of m and w so that the line with equation y - mx = w passes through the points (0 , 4) and (2 , 0)?

Answer 1

Let's find m first:
m = \(\cfrac{2-0}{0-4}\)

Then sub in one of the points for x and y to find w.

That's it!

Answer 2

For example, take point <2,0>: x=2 and y=0.
