Write an equation in standard form
(Ax+By=C)
Passes through (1,1) and (3,9)
-------------
There's more than 1 way to do it.
---------
The hard way:
Find the slope, m
m = diffy/diffx = (9-1)/(3-1) = 4
-----
Use the slope and y = mx + b with either point to find b, the y-intercept
-----
1 = 4*1 + b
b = -3
--> y = 4x - 3
4x - y = 3
-----------
The easy way, using determinants:
|x y 1|
|1 1 1| = 0
|3 9 1|
---------------
x*(1-9) - y*(1-3) + 1*(9-3) = 0
-8x + 2y + 6 = 0
4x - y = 3
