You then have two points and can compute the slope.

The way standard form for a line works is that m=-(A/B), but I am referring to Ax+By=C, so that this causes no confusion among typical and assigned variables. We have here A=3 and B=2, so we can write:
.

We can now find the value of C because we know at least one point of our line. We were given points (6,-4) and (0,5). This work will use the y-intercept.

Equation in standard form for our line is .
