Is this where I do y2-y1/x2-x1?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yes. To find the slope

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok... then (y-y1)=Slope (x-x1)?

OpenStudy (atlas):

But you need to find the equation of the line not slope: But lets take a random point (x,y) on the line, the slope using the formula above will be the same for the SAME line

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

It wants to know it in slope intercept form though

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I got y=-4x+3

OpenStudy (nikato):

Correct. And you can do some algebra and moving around to make it look like y=mx+b

OpenStudy (atlas):

you can simplify it in slope intercept form

OpenStudy (atlas):

Slope intercept form is x/a + y/b =1

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

@nikato Is what I have right? y=-4x+3?

OpenStudy (nikato):

Yes. That is right
