Question

Can someone please help me understand how to do this?
Indicate in standard form the equation of the line passing through the given points.

B(0, 0), C(4, -4)

Answer 1

1. Find the slope of the line thru the given points.
2. Insert this slope into the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line:\[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]

Answer 2

3. Chose either one of the given points. Take its coordinates and plug them into \[(x _{1},y _{1}).\]

Answer 3

If done correctly, your result will be the desired answer!

Answer 4

Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) / (X2 -X1)
Slope = m = (-4 -0) / (0 --4)
Slope = m = -4 / 4
Slope = m = -1

That's the slope.
To generate the equation use y = mx + b
y = -x + b
Use one of the given points (0, 0) and put those numbers into the formula.
