Question

Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.

Slope is 6, and (3, 4) is on the line.

Answer 1

keeping in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

`\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 6 \\\\\\ \begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{4}=\stackrel{m}{6}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{3})\implies y-4=6x-18 \\\\\\ y=6x-14\implies -6x+y=-14\implies 6x-y=14`
