Question

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (1, 1) and (3, 4)

anonymous · Answer

You need to find the slope first which is rise over run. (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

anonymous · Answer

2/3

anonymous · Answer

Then you sub that into the formula for y = mx + b. where m is the slope that you found, and you sub in a point on the line. You know that (1,1) is a point on the line

anonymous · Answer

So solve for b :)
1 = (2/3) 1 + b
Do you understand how I got that equation?

anonymous · Answer

I think I got iit

anonymous · Answer

Whoops, it's (3/2) for the slope

anonymous · Answer

You said 2/3 but remember rise over run

anonymous · Answer

is 1 = (2/3) 1 + b written in the standard form?

anonymous · Answer

No, you have to solve for b. Also the slope you're using is not correct. Remember, rise over run

anonymous · Answer

The standard form is y = mx + b where you know m (the slope) and b (the y intercept).
