REPORTED SOLUTION HERE WAS A MISTAKE,... NOW IS CORRECTED.
Try putting the equation into slope intercept form.
and you do not know the value of w.
Look back to your given points and the known slope.
--------MISTAKE FOUND HERE.
,, and the two given points are (1,3/2) and ( 7/2,0).
EVALUATE THE GIVEN POINTS NOW ACCORDING TO h=2.
These Points are (4,3) and (5,0).
Using the known slope, and either of the given points, find the equation of the line.
-----point-slope form,
------The line wanted, but you want the unknown value w to be solved.
Compare the equivalent equations:
----both of these being slope-intercept form, but using the same w as earlier used.
The y-intercepts must be equal.
,,,
-------The missing value in the blank in the requested point-slope equation given.
(Earlier mistake is now corrected).
