Question

find the equation, in standard form of the line passing through the points (2,-3) (4,2)

Answer 1

Do you know the formula for slope? and then the point-slope for of an equation of a line?

Answer 2

point-slope form, not for

Answer 3

isn't the slope form m=y1-y2/x2-x1?

Answer 4

first, solve for the slope
then use that slope and one of the points into point-slope form
solve for y
then simplify into standard form

Answer 5

yup! thats to find the slope. then you plug that answer into :
y-y1=m(x-x1)

you can use either point for the second equation

Answer 6

and sorry, your slope one should be
m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 7

what would you do with the y--3?

Answer 8

the negatives cancel eachother out, making it positive
