@izuwu1 ?

Answer 3

@izuwu1 Haha, thanks. Though, I'm just stuck on this question.

Answer 4

Solve for the slope using:
\[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\]
Then input that into point slope form
Point-Slope Form
\[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]
This simplifies to:
\[y = mx + b\]
Which you can then convert into Standard Form:
\[Ax + By = C\]

Answer 5

There might be an easier way but this way is kind of easy if you know what to do
