Question

Slope is -6 and (5,4) Is on the line; standard form

Answer 1

-5x + y = 34

Explanation:

First find the equation in slope-intercept form; then change that form to standard form.

y = mx + b becomes 4 = -6(5) + b, and so b = 34. Our equation is then

y = 5x + 34.

To obtain the desired equation in Standard Form,

Subtract 5x from both sides. This produces:

-5x + y = 34 This is the standard form of the equation for this line.
