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

Question

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

point-slope form, not for

anonymous · Answer

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

nincompoop · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

what would you do with the y--3?

anonymous · Answer

the negatives cancel eachother out, making it positive
