standard form is: ax+by=c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its y - y1 = m(x - x1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mean that how you solve it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but im not sure how could you help me
OpenStudy (lucaz):
that is the point-slope form

you have two given points, you just replace x, y and x1, y1 to find the slope of the line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay i know that part ... but i dont know how to slove for the answer i get confused
OpenStudy (lucaz):
y-y1/x-x1 = 5-6/1-4 = -1/-3 = 1/3
in point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(6)=1/3(x-4)
y=x/3-4/3+6
y=x/3+14/3
standard form is -x/3+y=14/3
or x/3-y=-14/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i see so when i get to the second step do i divide that numbers ?
OpenStudy (lucaz):
what step?
