Question

(4,−2) (8,3) how do i put that in standard form

Answer 1

1. Find the slope between the two points.

 

y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁ = 3 + 2 / 8 - 4 = 5/4

 

2. Use point-slope form and one point to write an equation.

 

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) 

y - 3 = 5/4(x - 8)

y - 3 = 5/4x - 10

y = 5/4x - 7

 

3. Rewrite the equation in standard form.

 

y = 5/4x - 7

-5/4x + y = -7

5x - 4y = 28
