Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

mathmale · Answer

You are given two points on a line.
1) Find the slope of the line through these 2 points.
2) Write the general form of the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line.
3) substitute your value of the slope (m) and the coordinates of ONE of the two points into that formula. 
4) Convert your result to "standard form," which looks like Ax + By = C.

Good luck!
