By slope formula m = (y - y1)/(x - x1), let:
(x,y) = (4,6)
(x1,y1) = (1,5)
So:
m = (6 - 5)/(4 - 1)
= 1/3
Then, by point-slope formula y - y1 = m(x - x1), letting m = 1/3 and (x1,y1) = (1,5):
y - 5 = 1/3 * (x - 1)
Since standard form consists of integers, multiply the expression by 3:
3(y - 5) = 1/3 * (x - 1) * 3
3y - 15 = x - 1
So in Ax + By = C form:
x - 3y - 1 = -15
x - 3y = -14 [Note that x must be positive integer!]
