Question

(6,8) and (-12,-4) put in standard form

Answer 1

Problem

(6,8) and (-12,-4) put in standard form ​

Solution

The standard form for a line is given by:

y =mx +b

We can calculate the slope with this formula:

`m=(-4-8)/(-12-6)=(2)/(3)`

Then we can find the intercept using one point given for example x=6 and y=8 and we have:

8= 2/3*6 +b

b= 8- 4= 4

And our standard form would be given by:

y= 2/3 x +4
