Question

Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

M(0, 6), N(6, 0)

Answer 1

can someone please help me i am i need of some answers and this is one of the hardest problems i have ever had. i have a high b almost to an low A in my math class. i have taking plenty of notes but my brain just refuses to take in what i am seeing and apply it to the rest of my knowledge

Answer 2

first you would have to find the slope in order to do that you would y2-y1/x2-x1
0=x1
6=y1
6=x2
0=y2

Answer 3

Have you tried the y and X intercept form?

Answer 4

M(0, 6)
N(6, 0)

Get the slope of the line determined by the two points:

Answer 5

The slope of line MN is -1.

Next up, use the slope-point format to get the equation of the line:

Use either point, I'm choosing N(6, 0).

The format we will use looks like this:

y - y1 = m*(x - x1) where (x1,y1) is the point and m is the slope of the line.
y - 0 = (-1)*(x - 6)
y = -1*x + 6

Answer 6

This --> y = -1*x + 6 is the slope-intercept form of the line.

Your question calls for --> standard form the equation

How does the standard form of a linear equation look?

Standard Form: the standard form of a line is in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.

So, take this --> y = -1*x + 6 and write it in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.
