1. Find an equation of the line containing the points (,) and (,); slope-intercept form.

use given points to find a slope






.....use one point to find




equation is:



2. Find an equation of the line containing the points (,) and (,); standard form.

use given points to find a slope




...use one point to find






......both sides multiply by

-> standard form
